Special feature : Nagamitsu was a Director for Inspection at Okayama Prison.
He was said to be making katana withr the prisoner however, the details are unknown.
probably he was called by Emura who was working at the Okayama prison as a director.
He was an authorized army sword smith and had won prizes at Army Gunto Skill Encouragement Awards.
Nagamitsu has made nice pieces. The well polished swords are much interesting than Yasukuni swords.
Emura and Nagamitsu were making swords a lot in the Okayama prison.
probably director of Okayama prison Emura called Nagamitsu who was making sword at
Okayama prefecture and asked making swords for managing Prisoners.
Emura and Nagamitsu made a lot of swords at that time.
Generally Emura made higher quality blades than Nagamitsu.
I think Emura swords were more higher quality and also polished inside of the prison.
So even if we saw rusty blade, the blade was polished nicely.
We will polish the blade after the katana is sold.
