This katana was forged in collaboration with Akama Tsunanobu and his legitimate son, Akama Naonobu. Akama Tsunanobu was a disciple of Kato Tsunahide, who was an official work of the Yonezawa Clan. He later moved to Edo where he forged for more than 20 years. His work can be found from 1826 to 1848. He passed away in 1856 at the age of 63. Naonobu lived in Yonezawa where he studied forging from his father as well as studying under Gassan Sadayoshi and Sadakazu. His work can be found up until the early Meiji Period. Since this is a collaboration forging, it was likely forged in 1847 where other collaborate work was forged. It has passed the Tokubetsu Hozon Token. |
