Features:
Miyoshi Nagamichi was a representative swordsmith of Aizu and received the title of Mutsu Daijo in 1660. His blades were renowned for their excellent cutting ability and were ranked among the Saijo O Wazamono (supreme sharp blades). Because of this, he became highly popular in Aizu and was often referred to as the “Aizu Kotetsu” or “Aizu Masamune.” In particular, as he admired Kotetsu deeply, some of his works display a style reminiscent of Kotetsu. We can provide Shirasay and Tsunagi for an additional fee of 30,000 yen if you request.
