A Kata-kiri-ha zukuri wakizashi forged during the early Edo period (Jokyo 2nd). Kata-kiri-ha zukuri, is refering to the blade style that was ‘invented’ during the late Kamakura period.
The kiraha-Zukuri side on this wakizashi is where the big horimono is (first pic) .. just in case you can’t really see at first sight… 🙂
This picture is telling more than a half page of text on this particular style :
