NihontoWatchMorikazu is a swordsmith living in Satsuma-cho, Kagoshima Prefecture, and his real name is Kazumasa Fujita. This sword is one of the best among his works. The sword is in very good condition and is suitable for Iai or Batto. There is very minor black rusting on the back side of the blade. The blade was polished for iai, so it does not have a mirror finish, but you can still enjoy the hamon and hada. The ornament metals of the fittings are modern.

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.
