Muromachi turned sword making into an industry: the uchigatana rose with massed infantry warfare, Osafune and Seki produced bundle swords beside custom orders, and the Ming trade carried Japanese blades abroad by the tens of thousands.
This is a tachi by the smith Umitsu from Yamashiro province. It was made around 1580 during the Muromachi period. The blade measures 70.4 cm in length with a curvature of 1.7 cm.
