Features:\u3000This sword was forged by Yasunori, one of the most prestigious smiths within the Yasukuni Shrine, on an auspicious day in December, Showa 12 (1937).
\nYasunori, whose real name was Tokutaro Kajiyama, was born in Hiroshima on April 20, 1907, and was a student of Yokoyama Sukeyoshi.
\nThis piece reproduces the look of old swords, with a beautiful jigane and a suguha hamon with active ko-ashi.<\/p>\n

Aoi Art\u2019s Comment: This sword has an excellent shape with beautiful jigane and a clean suguha hamon with ko-ashi.
\nWhile there were once many Yasukuni-to, they are now rarely seen on the market.
\nThese swords were produced under strict Army supervision, crafted by skilled smiths authorized to use the character “\u9756” (Yasu) in their signature.
\nOnly swords that passed strict inspections for flaws in the blade or jigane were accepted.
\nBecause of this rigorous standard, the high reputation of Yasukuni swords has endured to the present.
\nI believe that the reputation of Yasukuni-to will continue to be appreciated in the future.<\/p>\n
