NihontoWatchThis is a modern katana by the noted swordsmith Seishinshi Sadatoshi from Tokushima Prefecture, known for his skill in the Bizen tradition. The blade, made in 1986, features a beautiful jihada and hamon, and is lightweight and well-balanced, making it ideal for iaido practice. It comes with a newly polished blade and refreshed koshirae, including a new tsuba and rewrapped tsuka.

Shōwa to the present: destruction and revival
The twentieth century nearly killed the craft twice: wartime distortion, then the occupation ban. The NBTHK’s founding in 1948 and licensed forging from 1953 rebuilt the sword as an art, crowned by Living National Treasures and the mukansa rank.
