Accompanied by a Juyo Token [Important Sword] certificate issued by the Nihon Bijutu Token Hozon Kyokai [Society for the Preservation of the Japanese Art Sword], no. 6094 in 1977, and a Tokubetsu Kicho Koshirae [Particularly Valuable Fittings] certificate issued by the Nihon Bijutu Token Hozon Kyokai [Society for the Preservation of the Japanese Art Sword] in 1st November, 1977
Kanenaga of Osafune was a member of the group descended from Chogi (Nagayoshi). The majority of his dated works are from the period around 1360-1390.This wakizashi displays a typical hamon in the Soshu-Bizen tradition, with profuse bright, active nie, and well merits the fine quality koshirae which it accompanies. Lord Maeda, in a letter accompanying the blade, attributes the blade to Aoe Tsuguyoshi, probably because of the active choji hamon and ashi.
