Sengoku Seki was an industry: smiths organized under their tutelary Kasuga shrine, arming the war bands of central Japan. Magoroku Kanemoto’s sanbonsugi and the finest Kanesada work prove quality survived inside mass production.
This is a katana by Seki Zenjo Kaneyoshi from the late Muromachi period, around the Daiei era. Although it has been greatly shortened (o-suriage), a well-preserved signature remains. The koshirae is in decent condition, and the sword is lightweight and well-balanced, making it ideal for iaido practice.
