Echizen Province sword made by the Yoshitane of the Fujiwara clan. They apparently made swords in the 1624's. It is in good condition. See photos and paper written up by Mark Jones in 2005. Would like to get it back to the family of origin or sell for value. Thank you
blade is 26 1/4 by 1 1/4 width tapering down. overall length with case is 36 inches.
