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 tachi made by Miyairi Kiyohira, also known as Miyairi Kiyomune, in 1967. Kiyohira was the younger brother of the Living National Treasure Miyairi Yukihira and was known for pursuing the style of Kiyomaro. This long blade is said to be an homage to Kiyomaro's work, full of spirit.
