Muromachi period Long Wakizashi.
A rare Orikaeshi-Mei Wakizashi.
As you can see, the Tang signature has been folded over.
This sword originally had a fairly long blade, but was altered to be shorter.
Normally, the Tang signature would be cut off when shortening, but this blade has been folded over to keep it.
