"Oshigata is the traditional means, used by Japanese
appraisers since before the Japanese middle ages, to record all the
metallurgical activities in the steel of a Japanese sword that make it unique
to any other sword. This acquired skill is passed down esoterically from
teacher to student, using traditional techniques and tools, secret to that
particular linage of appraisers."
