Special Feature: Among the swordsmiths who signed their works Kanesada, the second-generation Izumi no Kami Kanesada (Nosada) is particularly well known. However, several swordsmiths used the signature Kanesada during the late Muromachi period. This wakizashi features well-forged jigane with prominent chikei, as well as a hamon with abundant nie and sunagashi. It is an attractive piece with many interesting features worthy of appreciation.<\/p>\n

Historical Background: In 1543 (Tenbun 12), a Chinese (Ming Dynasty) ship carrying Portuguese passengers drifted ashore on Tanegashima Island in present-day Kagoshima Prefecture. This event marked the first introduction of European matchlock firearms (teppo) to Japan. Within a relatively short period, matchlock guns were mass-produced by swordsmiths and other craftsmen and introduced into warfare. <\/p>\n
