Features:\u3000Chikush\u016b J\u016b Kunitomo was a swordsmith from Fukuoka, Kyushu, and a disciple of Komiya Shir\u014d Kunimitsu. With 11 awards to his name, Kunitomo crafted high-quality blades. This piece showcases strong masame hada with dark chikei and active sunagashi and kinsuji within the hamon. Even the kissaki reflects the skilled presence of kinsuji.<\/p>\n

Aoi Art\u2019s Comment:\u3000This is an exceptionally well-made blade. It appears to have been crafted with inspiration from Kamakura-era swordsmith Kanemitsu. A remarkable work worth appreciating.<\/p>\n
