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 Noshu-ju Kanenari, a designated Holder of Gifu Prefecture Important Intangible Cultural Property. The blade is in good condition and comes with a koshirae. It was forged specifically for Iaido practice, making it light, well-balanced, and suitable for immediate use.
