He is the youngest brother of swordsmith Kimura Kanetsugu and the uncle of swordsmiths Kimura Kanemitsu and Kimura Kaneyuki. He also signs his swords “Higo no Kuni ju Akamatsu Taro Kaneteru.” The Akamatsu Taro school, led by Kanetsugu, has produced many skilled swordsmiths and is particularly renowned for its excellent reproductions of Kiyomaro’s swords. The school is also known for producing its own tamahagane through traditional iron smelting, resulting in distinctive jigane that differs from swords made with standard NBTHK tamahagane. This sword is an excellent example, featuring finely forged ko-itame hada and a gorgeous juka-choji hamon. It is lightweight and well-balanced, making it ideal for iaido. ★ We offer free tsuka-ito rewrapping. Available materials include cowhide leather, suede, pigskin leather, and pure silk.

Shōwa to the present: destruction and revival
The twentieth century nearly killed the craft twice: wartime distortion, then the occupation ban. The NBTHK’s founding in 1948 and licensed forging from 1953 rebuilt the sword as an art, crowned by Living National Treasures and the mukansa rank.
