【Product details】
Immerse yourself in the rich heritage of the Edo period with this exquisite Japanese Katana, a masterwork attributed to the renowned swordsmith Echizen Kanetsugu. This blade, though unsigned, has been officially recognized by the Nihon Bijutsu Token Hozon Kyokai (NBTHK) as a "Specially Precious Sword”.
Crafted during the vibrant Mid-Edo period, the sword exemplifies the distinguished craftsmanship of the Echizen Kanetsugu lineage, known for their exceptional skill in forging blades of remarkable quality and resilience. The first generation Kanetsugu, originating from Mino Province, settled in Echizen Ichijodani and continued the legacy through four generations, shaping the history of Japanese sword making.
This katana bears the esteemed calligraphy of Sato Kanichi, a noted sword scholar known by his pseudonym “Kanzan,” validating its origin as a creation of Echizen Kanetsugu. Sato, a former executive director of NBTHK and deputy director of the Sword Museum in Sumida, Tokyo, lends credibility and historical depth to this remarkable piece.
Accompanied by a copy of registration certificate from Tokyo Metropolitan Government, this katana is meticulously detailed with a blade length of 68.7 cm and a curvature of 1.5 cm, featuring a single peg hole. Its pristine white scabbard, measuring 99.2 cm, enhances the sword's elegance and mystique. This piece was officially registered on January 18th, 1977 (Showa 52). Original certificate will be returned to the authority.
With some signs of wear and minor blade imperfections adding to its authentic charm, this katana is not just a piece of Japanese history but a testament to the enduring legacy of the samurai spirit.
Minor scratches are visible on the tip of the blade. Please refer to the photos.
The stand is not included with the purchase.
Length of the blade: 93.4 cm
Length of scabbard: 99.2 cm
