NihontoWatchThis listing is for a ken (sword) by the smith Masahira. Fujiyasu Masahira, a student of Living National Treasure Miyairi Yukihira, established his own forge in 1975 in Fukushima. He consistently produced swords in the Soshu tradition, receiving awards from the NBTHK for his hirazukuri wakizashi and a tachi in an antique style.

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.
