What he is after
His profile at the Gifu NBTHK says that his goal is the 相州伝 (Sōshū-den), 津田助広 (Tsuda Sukehiro) and 長曽祢虎徹 (Nagasone Kotetsu), and his challenge, the 備前伝 (Bizen-den). His characteristic work is the Sōshū-den tōran-ba (濤瀾刃), which his father already made. Gifu recognises him for reproducing that temper and for keeping up the Seki forging technique.
A work exhibited by the NBTHK
At the 2019 exhibition 平成の名刀・名工展 (Heisei no Meitō Meikōten), the Japanese Sword Museum exhibited a 2004 katana of his, signed 美濃國住兼國作 (Mino no kuni jū Kanekuni saku) and dated spring of Heisei 16: nagasa of 72.5 cm and sori of 1.8 cm, polished by Fujishiro Okisato. It is from the year of his Takamatsu-no-miya-shō, but the catalogue does not say that it is the prizewinning one.
