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 tachi crafted by Akamatsu Taro Kanemitsu from Higo province. The blade measures 100.2 cm and features a vibrant choji-midare hamon. The koshirae has been remade with rewrapped ray skin, new fittings, and dark brown suede leather.
