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 katana made by Fujiyasu Masahira, a renowned contemporary swordsmith born in Fukushima Prefecture. Forged in 2017, this blade features a bright, clear suguha hamon and excellent balance. It is presented in an unpolished state, reflecting the master's direct craftsmanship.
