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.

Iai, shizan ya kyudo no maesashi ni saiteki desu. This is an Osoraku-tsukuri Tanto by Hidemune Matsubara, a master swordsmith in Seki, Japan. Aikuchi-koshirae is in like-new condition and is ideal for Iaido, Shizando and Kyudo Maesashi. "Taihai style" Osoraku-tsukuri, iori-mune, mihaba and kasane are jinjo, torii-sori with o-kissaki.
