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 by Kanemichi of Nosyu (Mino province). The blade measures 74.2cm in length with a curvature of 1.7cm. It comes with an uchigatana koshirae and is described as being light and well-balanced, making it suitable for iaido.
