The b\u014dshi continues in midare and ends in a yakitsume-style with temper extending into the shinogi as well.<\/p>\n<p>Features: Many swordsmiths working in Seki during the Muromachi period signed with the name Kanemoto, making precise generation attribution difficult. The most renowned among them is Magoroku Kanemoto, who is known for his exceptional cutting ability and is recognized as one of the Saij\u014d \u014c Wazamono.<\/p>\n<p>This work displays a beautiful Jigane showing tight patterns. Features such as file marks of tang and the elongated kissaki also reflect the characteristics associated with Magoroku Kanemoto.
