This is an iron fan forged by Sadatoshi Gassan, which was sold for 150,000 yen at the Great Sword Fair held in 1997 (at the Tokyo Bijutsu Club). Sadatoshi is a swordsmith who has inherited the traditions of the Gassan school and is a top-ranking swordsmith certified as Mukansa (unexamined). The iron fan forged by this swordsmith is inscribed with "Wakom" (Japanese spirit) and has a streamlined form, truly resembling a sharpened, real sword. In addition, the accompanying paulownia wood box has his inscription, making it a treasure to be passed down to future generations. After purchase, it has been stored in the paulownia wood box, and there are no noticeable scratches or rust, and the condition is beautiful. A leather case (photos 11-12) that can be fitted to the handle when viewing is also included.
