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.
This is a gendaito katana made by Sesshu ju Shigenori from Hyogo Prefecture. The blade features a distinctive hadamono jihada and a notare hamon. It comes with a koshirae and is well-suited for tameshigiri due to its long tang, excellent balance, and sharp edge.
