Background

The creator of this katana, Seki-jū Kanemichi, was born Tokijiro Kojima in July 1902 in Nagaju-cho, Seki City, an area renowned for its long history of producing high-quality swords. Kanemichi began his apprenticeship under Zenjo Kaneyoshi and later studied under Watanabe Kanenaga, where he refined his craft. Initially known as "Kanetoki," he later adopted the name "Kanemichi" after receiving the character "michi" from Nakayama Hiromichi.

Kanemichi’s exceptional skill and dedication earned him the highest honors in the sword-making community. In 1941, he was designated as the "Special Honored Swordsmith General" at the New Japanese Sword Exhibition, and in 1942, he was ranked as the Yokozuna, the highest rank in the "Precious Ranking" of modern swordsmiths by Professor Kuriyama Hikosaburo. After World War II, Kanemichi became the chairman of the Mino-den Sword Preservation Association, playing a pivotal role in training many current Seki swordsmiths and reviving the Mino-den tradition.

This katana, forged under Kanemichi’s expert craftsmanship, is a testament to his legacy.

Fun read
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Kids had fun reading this book. My 7 year old thought it was lot of fun. My 11 year old thought the story had few holes where people and events were happening without any explanation. But overall, both had fun reading it. The book is made really well - it's beautifully illustrated and printed well. The behind-the-scene look at the how the characters were drawn was really neat as well.

Great resource. Worth purchasing.
Format: Hardcover
Great resource, worth every penny. I wish it would have included a chapter or two on numerical modeling, especially an overview of the various CFD codes out there, but it is OK that it did not.
