Features:\u3000This piece was made by the 2nd generation Kawachi no Kami Kunisuke, also known as “Naka-Kawachi” as he worked between the first and third generations.
\nHe produced a large number of swords, and it is said that he had many clients at the time.
\nHis hamon, often in ch\u014dji-midare, was praised as “Shinto Ichimonji” and was especially popular around the Manji era.
\nDuring the Kanbun period in the Edo era, the Tokugawa shogunate enforced a sword-wearing ban and restricted ownership among citizens.
\nNonetheless, this sword is a firm and reliable example of the “Shinto Ichimonji” style.<\/p>\n
