Edo was the sword’s age of connoisseurship: the Hon’ami appraisers, the shogunal register of famous blades of 1719, and a thriving literature turned the sword into an object of study even as it ceased to be drawn in war.
This is a wakizashi made by Kakimoto Masahisa. The blade is 45.5cm long and was made in the late Edo period, specifically in Kansei 10 (1798). The blade has a beautiful appearance and is said to have excellent cutting ability.
