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 features a katana by Kaneaki, known as Takatenjin Kinpun Mei Kaneaki, from the late Muromachi period (around Tenbun era). Originally from Mino Province, he later moved to Totomi Province. His blades were highly regarded by warriors for their sharpness and maneuverability, making surviving examples extremely rare today.
