Special feature: Kanetsune made swords actively from the early Muromachi period, around the Ouei era. This work should be made in the late Muromachi period because of its shape. The production of Tanto decreased drastically in the Edo period because of the drop of demand for Tanto.

From Aoi Art: Kanetsune is a swordsmith from Mino province, who was famous for the sharpness. This work has Mitsumune shape and is very large. The shape is typical Mino shape. The blade is broad and has Sori at the tip. Tanto was needed in the time of war, but after the Edo period, there were no wars and no one needed Tanto for battles.
