| In the Sendai clan, which had a fief of 620,000 koku of Date family, a large number of swordsmiths responded to the demand for military equipment. The representative swordsmiths in Sendai clan were those of Kunikane lineage. From the 1st generation, the highly acclaimed master swordsmith, this lineage was passed down to the 13th generation who was active during the Bakumatsu period. Based on the features of the inscription, this wakizashi was forged by the 13th Kunitsune. The 13th Kunitsune was born in 1820 and was the eldest son of the 12th. He was called Hongo Eisuke and inherited the lineage in 1848. He was active during the Bakumatsu period when the demand for swords increased, and served for twenty-one years until the domain swordsmiths were dismissed in 1869, bringing an end to the prestigious lineage. He passed away in 1880 at the age of 60. This wakizashi has decayed on the part of nakago near the mekugi-ana due to being kept in the handle for a long time, but is otherwise in good condition. It has passed Hozon shinsa in 1995. |
