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 gendaito katana made by Akamatsu Taro Kaneteru from Higo province. The blade measures 91.2cm in length and features a Jyuka-Choji hamon with kinsuji. It is mounted in a shirasaya.
