Weight (toshin only): 366g It has arrived—a truly precious wakizashi cherished through generations in an old family, featuring a kinzogan-mei specially added to commemorate this masterpiece by Kanetsune. This clearly demonstrates how highly this authentic Kanetsune wakizashi has been valued since ancient times. The first generation Kanetsune dates back to the early Muromachi period, around the Oei era (1397, 629 years ago), when a swordsmith from the Yamato Senjuin school moved to Mino and took the name Kanetsune. This Kanetsune is the ancestor of the famous Muto Kanetsune family, who was granted the title of Seki Kaji Soryoji (Head of the Seki Smithing Guild) by Oda Nobunaga in Genki 2 (1571, 455 years ago), becoming the leader of the Seki smiths. This was the era of the Battle of Anegawa and the Battle of Nagashino, currently popularized in the NHK Taiga drama "Toyotomi Kyodai." The sugata of this wakizashi shows a beautiful form with a distinct difference between the motohaba and sakihaba and a graceful sori. The jigane is forged in ko-itame hada. The hamon is finished in nioi-deki with ko-nie, featuring a suguha-style temper line with koshiba at the moto. Within the ha, elegant kinsuji and nijuba are interspersed. The boshi is finished in komaru with a hakikake tip, presenting an elegant and magnificent wakizashi. This masterpiece clearly displays the high level of skill of the Mino Seki smith Kanetsune. The koshirae is also an Edo-period koshirae with a kuro-kanshitsu-nuri saya, featuring luxurious fittings including a kin-kise niju-habaki, kin-kise seppa, shakudo tsuba, shakudo fuchi-kashira, and shakudo menuki, which add further splendor to this kinzogan-mei Kanetsune wakizashi. This Kanetsune wakizashi has been treasured by a family for generations, but as they have grown older, we have been entrusted to pass it on to someone who will cherish it at an affordable price. Therefore, we are offering it at a special bargain price. Please take this opportunity to enjoy this elegant masterpiece with a kinzogan-mei by the head smith of Seki.
