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 Showa period katana by Fukumoto Kanemune, a swordsmith from Seki. The blade measures 72.5cm in length and features a signature. It comes with a koshirae made with antique fittings and is in good condition, making it suitable for iaido practice.
