Special feature: This swordsmith was employed by Tokugawa Mitsukuni with 7nin-Buchi salary. He made a lot of powerful works like this Wakizashi.(nearly Katana) It is said that Mitsukuni hired Yoshikado because his swords were incredibly sharp when he did did cutting tests on Yoshikado’s swords. His swords were popular in those days, so many fake works were also made. This blade has NBTHK Tokubetsu Hozon paper. We truly recommend this sword.
