Just under 28"
Nagasa with O-Suriage Nakago.
Juyo, with Tanobei Saya-Gaki. Extremely
thick and strong, this piece has a starkly
vibrant health - like a new sword. A head-master
of the Chogi school, Kanenaga blends the height of
Soshu and Bizen styles.
The steel shines with a bright
luminescence. Dappling Utsuri outlines an
especially exuberant Soden Hamon. The whole work
is lively and harmonious. This sword literally lit
up the examination room.
