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 Chikusyu ju Kuniharu. The blade measures 2 shaku 4 sun 6 bu (74.4cm) and comes with a koshirae. It is described as being light and well-balanced, making it suitable for iaido practice, and is in unused, new condition despite being registered in 2014.
