This sword has a typical sugata of the shinshinto period with a wide mi-haba and longish chu-kissaki. The balance is somewhat better than that found in many shinshinto swords. Also characteristic of the shinshinto period is the very tight jihada with very beautiful grain pattern. Made in the Mino style the sword has a sanbon tsuji hamon signed Kanemoto with the very pointed peaks (togari) of the traditional Kanemoto style, the hamon is formed of three gunome-midare with togari.  The tani, or valleys between the gunome, have nioi forming ashi. The nakago is ubu with the mei on the omote.

The mounts are pure Samurai style mounts in iron with a kabuto menuki and vine-like tsuba. The saya has a red stone texured lacquer and the tsuka is wrapped in leather.

This sword is a signed ubu Shinshinto beauty. A longish 28.5" with beautiful balance lighter than it appears. The sword is papered and in a wonderful sashikomi polish.
