État et remarques
Cette lame moderne collaborative présente une silhouette élégante hi-iri, un trempage chu-suguha bien défini, et un acier itame magnifiquement forgé. Exempt de courbure, d'éclats ou de rouille, elle ne montre que des marques minimes de manipulation. Montée dans une koshirae en laque noire de haut grade avec des ferrures serrées, elle est prête à la fois pour l'exposition et l'utilisation pratique en Iaido, Battô ou Tameshigiri.
Contexte historique
Le maître forgeron Bitchū-no-Kuni Heianjō Gen Sukemitsu est né sous le nom de Yoshijiakeshi Takeshita en 1915 (Taishō 4). Il a d'abord étudié sous le maître forgeron Masatsugu Okishiba à Osaka, puis sous son père, Eitarō Sukemitsu. Avant la guerre, il a été sélectionné comme forgeron officiel de l'armée, et par la suite il a remporté de nombreux prix à la Nouvelle Exposition de l'Épée Célèbre, acquérant une réputation de maître artisan.
Le maître forgeron Mitsukane, dont le vrai nom est Isao Kaneda de Kurashiki-Tamashima, est un membre de longue date de l'Association panjaponaise des forgerons et a été sélectionné pour de nombreux honneurs.
