Description

This is a ken (sword) made by Osumi Shunpei, a Living National Treasure. It is a rare example of his work in this form, as ken were typically made for religious purposes rather than practical use by samurai. This particular sword is a valuable piece, with a sayagaki (scabbard inscription) by Honma Kaoru, imitating Awataguchi Kuniyoshi.
