Beautiful Wakizashi with Gold inlay attribution to Yasutsugu. As there were many generations of Yasatsugu. The key to distinguishing between them was in the way they cut their mei. As such this one is difficult and to determine exactly which generation it would need to be sent to shinsa. They were many with elaborate horimono such as this one done by the famous "Kinai" 記内 school.
