The Haitōrei edict of 1876 ended sword wearing and nearly ended the craft itself. Military demand and imperial patronage kept a remnant alive, and in 1906 Gassan Sadakazu and Miyamoto Kanenori were named Artists to the Imperial Household.
This katana was crafted by Kanesaki from the Inaba domain, present-day Tottori prefecture, during the Tempo era (1830-1844). The blade weighs 1166g and spans 78.3 cm. The seventh-generation Kanesaki, whose birth name was Heki Yazaburo, crafted this blade, having apprenticed under Kanemoto during the late Muromachi period.
