[ Highlight ] Bushu-ju Fujiwara no Kanenaga lived in Seki, Mino province, and was a swordsmith who lived in Kanda, Edo, around the Kanbun period. He cut signatures like 'Kanenaga', 'Fujiwara Kanenaga, Bushu' and 'Fujiwara Kanenaga, Musashi-no-kuni, Edo'. This sword has the curved form of the Kanbun Shinto sword with a low curvature of the sword, base and tip with a difference in width and a medium cutting edge. It is a sturdy sword with good flesh and the blade section remains firmly in place and appears to have been polished only a few times, giving it a solid appearance. The blade has a Seki-style gunome pattern and is well mounted, with a wide firing range.

[ Conditions ] There is a little rust and blade spillage and it may be time for a polish.

[ Attachments ] Habaki(suaka-ji, silver foiled, single, Chrysanthemum shape) shirasaya and bag of shirasaya and NBTHK hozon paper "保存刀剣鑑定書"(issued on 3rd Dec. Reiwa 3(2021))
