★The sword of Okita Soji, captain of the first unit of the Shinsengumi, who survived the turbulent Bakumatsu period, is revived in the modern era!
* The details of each part are beautifully finished, with a high degree of reproducibility in terms of weight and other aspects.
* At times, holding it and feeling its weight, or shining the blade pattern in the light, can stimulate your imagination.
* This is a masterpiece carefully forged by artisans, one by one, in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, Mino Province, a town that prospered as a center for blade making.
* The exquisite fittings, such as the meticulously finished tsuba (hand guard) and tsuka-maki (handle wrapping), convey a sense of history and craftsmanship.
* Among these, the sword-making techniques, known as the newest forging techniques, have been passed down by swordsmiths for approximately 700 years, producing numerous famous swords.
* Seki City is also known as the home of Mino-den, and has played a role in one of the five major schools of Japanese sword making.
* About Kashu Kiyomitsu:
* This is a uchigatana made by the sixth generation, Fujiwara Kiyomitsu, and is famous for being worn by Okita Soji during the Ikedaya Incident.
* Okita Soji used this as his favorite sword in his early days, but it became irreparable after the Ikedaya Incident, and it is passed down as an episode that illustrates how fierce the battle was.
