I had the pleasure of borrowing my friend's Kawano Sadashige (Gassan school) over the weekend and wanted to share a few photos. I have encountered his work on and off, but this one was by far the best example that I have seen. For some reason it seems that his swords tended to be larger and longer overall than his contemporaries, I have seen three that were over 28" and this tachi is 70.5cm with a 34mm moto-haba. Definitely a smith I will pay more attention to in the future...

 

Best regards,

Ray
