Katana by Izumi Daijō Fujiwara Kuniteru (3rd Generation) — Tokubetsu Hozon Token

The Kuniteru name traces back to the early Edo period, with the first generation known to have trained under Miyoshi Nagakuni and later earning the title Izumi Daijō in 1668. The Kuniteru lineage became closely associated with swordsmithing in Iyo province (present-day Ehime), and the name was passed down to successive generations of smiths who carried on its tradition of excellence.  This particular smith was active in the mid-Edo period, continuing the legacy of the Kuniteru line known for its robust craftsmanship and refined aesthetics.
