重光 Shigemitsu is a 別席 Betseki, special class sword-smith.

特徴:

備前長船重光はおそらく応永備前の重光の子供かとも思われる。特に地鉄が良くまた刃紋も互の目乱れに尖って返りが深く、瑕や欠点のない素晴らしい作品です。

Characteristic:

Bizen Osafune Shigemitsu 6th gen. is probably a child of Osafune Shigemitsu 5th gen. In particular, the ground iron is good, and the blade pattern is sharp and deep, and it is a wonderful work with no flaws or defects.
