KANETOMO UNJU [ANSEI 1854 IWASHIRO] SHINSHINTÔ CHÛJÔSAKU

                He is the last of the line of Aizu Kanetomo, and when viewed from the Gô of Unju, it appears as though he had some sort of relation to Unju Korekazu nado.

Signature:              MUTSU AIZU UNJU KANETOMO

 

 

This exquisite wakazashi is very beautiful and has many unique features.  The long point (kissaki) makes for a dramatic look and the abundance of activity on this sword is very beautiful.  This sword is forged very well and has no flaws.  This is a fine example of the sword maker Kanetomo.
