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 made by Kanenari, a Important Intangible Cultural Property holder of Gifu prefecture. The blade measures 76.0cm in length and comes with a complete koshirae. It is described as being in new and unused condition, making it suitable for iaido practice.
