This elegant katana dates to the late Muromachi period (c. 1550–1600), a time of continual warfare when swords were forged for practical battlefield use yet still retained artistic refinement. The blade is mumei, as is typical for many Sengoku-era swords, but its form and workmanship clearly reflect high-quality regional traditions.

The sword features a graceful shinogi-zukuri shape with a gentle tori-zori curvature, offering both cutting efficiency and balanced handling. Its defining characteristic is the flowing notare-midare hamon, composed of soft, wave-like undulations and a bright, active nioi-guchi. This style is commonly associated with strong Bizen and Mino influences during the period.

The ko-itame jihada displays a tight grain that becomes visible as the light moves across the polished surface. Together with the controlled heat treatment, it reflects the skill of late-Muromachi smiths who balanced durability with aesthetic appeal.

The tang (nakago) has two mekugi-ana, suggesting the sword saw service and was remounted during its long life — a hallmark of authentic Sengoku-era blades. The chū-kissaki provides a practical, well-proportioned tip suited for both cutting and thrusting.

The accompanying koshirae displays refined Edo-period styling. The iron tsuba pairs with gold-accented fuchi-kashira, while the dark green tsuka-ito wrapped over samegawa creates a dignified military presence. The lacquered saya completes the mount, offering a cohesive and traditional aesthetic.

As an authentic late-Muromachi katana with attractive hamon and period koshirae, this sword represents the warrior culture of Japan’s Sengoku age — functional, elegant, and historically significant.

Works great!
Color: Ultra Dark Bronze
This stuff is magical. Goes on dry, not greasy but be careful, no spf so you may burn but what a tan! Also smells of tanning bed spray. Used it at the beach! Incredible!

Great Natural Tan, Just A Little Tacky
Color: Ultra Dark Bronze
This tanning spray definitely helps give a nice natural-looking tan without looking orange or streaky. I’ve used it outside in the sun, in the tanning bed, and while floating in the pool, and it worked well in all three situations. The only downside for me is that it feels very tacky on the skin after applying. Because of that, I definitely prefer using it while relaxing in the pool since it feels less noticeable there. Overall, the tan results are really pretty and natural, so I’ll keep using it despite the sticky feeling.

I’m Tan AF
Color: Ultra Dark Bronze
Couldn’t ask for a better tanning oil. The oil itself and lightweight and more hydrating feeling than greasy. I get a really good color after one use and my skin feels nourished. Smells great too!

Amazing Tanning lotion.
Color: Ultra Dark Bronze
This is by far the best tanning lotion I've ever used Goes on wet but absorbs completely. Doesn't leave your skin oily. It's not one for people with fare skin unless your used to the sun because theres no sunscreen.

Works amazingly but the scent is horrible like sweaty self tan
Color: Ultra Dark Bronze
I’m giving this 3 stars due to the scent. It’s horrible. Not so much right away but after about 20 min and even after showering. I’m pretty sure it has self tanner in it. It doesn’t say this! So that’s bad. However, I had no orange on me anywhere or my hands. The good, and if it weren’t for the scent? This stuff works so well! It’s so moisturizing without being too oily. It goes on good and evenly and doesn’t take much at all. My skin feels really good afterwards. It’s advertised as an intensifier and has no sunscreen which is what I wanted. But Omgosh the stink is real! Mixed with sweat it’s even worse.
