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.
