Previous answer is
Mumei(Osafune Yoshikage)

Special feature : Before Osafune Yoshikage was a stream of Ppmiya school but recently
Yoshikage is a stream of Bize Nagamitsu, Chikakage because the fail mark.
Even right right now some sword expert says the blade is a stream of Cyogi and Kanemitsu.
This sword was judged by Honami Ko-son as Cyo-gi by ggod skilful hand writing.
I think this blade has been kept as Daimyo treasure.
The Jigane is extreamly nice and healthy blade.
This nice quality blade might pass NBTHK upper class.
