| Kanetsugu is the lineage of the Kumagai clan. Each of them were craftsman employed by the Sendai domain from the first Kanetsugu around the Kan'ei era to this Seiryushi Kanetsugu [青龍子兼次] at the end of the Edo period. Seiryu-shi Kanetsugu was active during the end of the Edo period and left behind inscribed swords dating from around Genji to Meiji 2 （1869）. He is also known for his collaborative swords with the 13th generation Kunikane [国包]. This sunnobi tanto features resemblie of Kunikane's [国包] work, with a full Masame-hada (straight grain). The hamon has a broad, suguha with a slight notare, well-formed nie, sunagashi, kin-suji, and nie-suji along with the Masame-hada (straight grain). It passed the Hozon Token shinsa in December 2024 (has not Tokubetsu Hozon Token shinsa been applied yet). |
