After the Ōnin War broke the Ashikaga order, a century of Sengoku warfare armed nearly every province in Japan. The era rewards a discriminating eye: routine work exists in quantity, and beside it stand custom blades of the first rank.
This is a wakizashi made by Kanetsuji of Noshu Seki during the late Muromachi period (Keicho era, 1596~). The blade has a sharp construction with a well-tempered small ko-itame mokume hada and a bright nioiguchi suguha hamon. The koshirae features a high-quality aogai nashiji lacquer finish and well-crafted fittings, suggesting it was owned by a high-ranking samurai.
