After the Ōnin War broke the Ashikaga order, a century of Sengoku warfare armed nearly every province in Japan. The era rewards a discriminating eye: routine work exists in quantity, and beside it stand custom blades of the first rank.
This listing from Ginza Choshuya features a tanto by Kanenari from Mino Province, dating to the late Muromachi period (around Daiei era). While details on this specific smith are scarce, the construction suggests a connection to Magoroku Kanemoto. The blade is accompanied by a koshirae.
