1 antique Japanese WW2 Yasukuni Shrine sword by Kotani Yasunori available.  This fine antique Japanese sword would make an important acquisition for any collection.    

The blade measures 68.5 cm (26 15/16") from blade tip to notch in the blade spine.

This sword is in beautiful condition.  The mounts are excellent.  The blade is in wartime polish with one tiny nail catcher type nick which is so slight it is hard to see.  It's really only detectable when pulling the cutting edge along a fingernail.  There is some light staining on the blade.  The blade is perfectly straight.  

The hamon and boshi are perfectly healthy.
