Description

This katana is by the renowned smith Izumi no Kami Kanesada, 11th generation, famous for being the beloved sword of Shinsengumi Vice-Commander Hijikata Toshizo. Dated to Keio 3 (1867), like the sword passed down in the Hijikata family, it features a masame-hada similar to Sendai Kunikane, known for its sharpness. The overall style of this work is robust and sturdy, with an excellent masame-hada forging that conveys the powerful spirit of the 11th generation Kanesada, who survived the wars of his era.
