This is an unsigned Shinto katana attributed to Kanemoto. The blade features a togari-gunome (three-pillar suguha) hamon and taka-no-ha yasurime on the tang. It is lightweight and well-balanced, making it suitable for iaido practice, and comes with a koshirae in good condition.

Kanemoto (兼元) worked at Akasaka in Mino Province, and the line takes its place among the smiths of the late Muromachi period whom the NBTHK registers under the Mino-den tradition centered on Seki. The setsumei place the family within the Sue-Seki (Sue-Mino) milieu, naming Kanemoto alongside Kanesada as the two leading figures of the province in this era; one tantō note instead pairs the name with Kaneshiba, and another with Izumi no Kami Kaneshige, marking the company the line kept.
