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 Kaneteru of Hishu Yatsushiro, also known as Akamatsu Taro Kaneteru. It is a copy of a Kiyomaro blade, featuring a strong shape and prominent hamon with golden lines. The sword is in excellent condition and comes with a shirasaya.
