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.
This is a modern katana made by Kanemichi from Seki, a former president of the Mino Den Swordsmith Preservation Association. The blade is freshly polished and the tsuka-maki is new. It has a long tang and is exceptionally light, making it suitable for immediate use in iaido.
