The sword has a blade length of 18inches (46 cm). The blade features a well-grained itame hada. The hamon is a Soshu-style gunome midare that is present the length of the blade ending in a maru boshi. The blade shows activitieslike light yubashiri and sunagashi in and around the hamon.

The tang is signed BushuShitahara ju Hiroshige in a nice, well-chiseled script. Hiroshigewas from the Shitahara school,working in Musashi province around 1660.He was also a well-known maker of yari spears. Fujishiro rates him asChu Saku.

The tsuba is a nice irontsuba with two accompanying metal seppa. The saya (scabbard) is wood with acustom lacquer design of small amber pine needles mixed with nashijilacquer sparkles.
