(Izumi no Kami Kanesada 10th Generation level) (The father of the Kanesada famous as the haito of Shinsengumi Vice-Commander Hijikata Toshizo) Weight (excluding saya): 1198g It has appeared, it has appeared—a sword filled with dreams, a blade that one would hope is a 10th generation Aizu Kanesada. The 10th generation Aizu Kanesada’s real name was Furukawa Narizo. He was the father of the 11th generation Aizu Kanesada and a hanko (official smith) of the Aizu Clan. He mentored the 11th generation Kanesada, and after the 11th generation received the title of Izumi no Kami Kanesada in Bunkyu 3, he changed his own name to Kaneuji. The 11th generation Kanesada is currently extremely famous as the aito of Hijikata Toshizo, and his popularity in Touken Ranbu is at its peak. As for the sugata of this sword, it was originally a long blade of about 2 shaku 6 sun that was shortened, resulting in its mumei status, yet it remains goso (magnificent). The jigane is a finely packed ko-itame hada. The hamon is a notare-ba in nioi-deki with ko-nie, showing hataraki toward the ji, which demonstrates the high level of the tosho's skill. It is likely that blades by this 10th generation Kanesada were also bestowed upon the Shinsengumi by the Aizu Daimyo, Matsudaira Katamori. It truly possesses the value of an Aizu sword loved by Shinsengumi Vice-Commander Hijikata Toshizo. The Edo-period koshirae, which shows the ingenuity of the shitsujitsu-goken (unaffected and sincere) samurai of that era in protecting even the precious tsuka, adds further elegance to this blade. As this is the first time this sword has appeared on the market in its "raw" (ubu) state, we are offering this "hope it is Aizu Kanesada" sword at a special discount price. Please enjoy it.

The Edo period (1615 to 1868)
Under the Tokugawa peace the daishō became a regulated uniform, and demand gathered in the castle towns, above all Edo itself. The craft split two ways: brilliant display work for connoisseurs, and tested blades whose cutting results were sometimes inlaid in gold.
We could not find an authenticity certificate on the seller’s listing. Japanese swords and fittings are normally papered by the NBTHK (or the NTHK). Without one, the attribution is the seller’s own assessment and has not been independently verified — treat it with caution and ask the dealer about certification before buying.
For returns due to customer circumstances, the cost is the customer's responsibility. For returns due to our mis-shipment or a defective item, we bear the cost.
