La lame presente un Ko-mokume hada, un motif d'acier a grain fin qui est distribue uniformement sur la surface. L'acier expose egalement un Utsuri, un effet de reflet ombre, qui ameliore la profondeur visuelle de la lame.
Le hamon affiche un effet Yubashiri, avec des plaques dispersees d'acier trempe apparaissant le long du tranchant. De plus, Tobi-yaki peut etre observe, ou des zones isolees de trempe creent des motifs de trempe irreguliers. La structure globale de l'acier et le tranchant sont decrits comme Jiba Saeru, signifiant que le grain et le tranchant trempe sont tres raffines, tranchants et nets.
A propos du forgeron - Kashū Katsuie
Cette lame est attribuee a Kashū Katsuie, un forgeron de Kashū (Kaga actuelle, prefecture d'Ishikawa actuelle). Le nom "Katsuie" a ete porte par plusieurs generations de forgerons de la mi-periode Muromachi au debut de la periode Edo (annees 1450-1650). Le plus ancien Katsuie connu provenait originellement de la province de Mino, une region celebre pour la tradition de forge d'epees Mino-den. Au milieu du XVe siecle, lui et ses apprentis ont demenage au Kaga Koku, ou ils ont etabli l'ecole Darani sous le patronage de moines bouddhistes.
A partir de la deuxieme generation, les forgerons Katsuie ont servi le clan Maeda, une famille feodale prestigieuse, produisant des epees pour leurs vassaux samourais. Ce katana a probablement ete forge pendant le Sengoku Jidai (Periode des Etats en guerre, XVe-XVIe siecles), une epoque de conflit intense ou les armes de qualite etaient cruciales pour la survie. Posseder une piece de cette ere est une occasion rare de tenir une epee qui a peut-etre ete temoin de certaines des batailles les plus tumultueuses du Japon.
