Features:
\nThe 1st-generation Iga no Kami Kinmichi was the son of Kanemichi (later known as Daid\u014d). In 1559, he moved from Mino to Kyoto together with his father and his brothers \u2014 Rai Kinmichi, Tanba no Kami Yoshimichi, and Etch\u016b no Kami Masatoshi. He began his activity around the Tensh\u014d era and was granted the title “Iga no Kami” in 1594.
\nBefore receiving the official title, his works exhibited typical late-Seki’s works with tight-nioikuchi hamon.
\nAfter receiving the official title, his style became more Shizu-like, featuring stronger nie, with midareba incorporating kinsuji and sunagashi, and he began tempering the distinctive\u3000Mishina style Boshi\u3000characteristic of his school.
\nThis blade exhibits complex activity in both jigane and hamon, and stands as a valuable example of Kinmichi\u2019s refined craftsmanship after receiving the title.<\/p>\n

From Aoi-Art:
\nThis blade is published in Nihont\u014d Taikan \u2013 Shint\u014d-hen I, pages 86\u201387, and in T\u014dken Bijutsu, issue no. 771.
\nIt is rare for a shint\u014d to be awarded Tokubetsu Juy\u014d status, but this work is of a level that truly deserves such distinction.<\/p>\n
