Kandaisa

Kandaisa was the Kakita Blade wielded by Kakita Toshimoko. It was one of the finest Kakita Blades ever created and was forged over six hundred years ago. It is believed that the tradition of testing the Kakita Blades on a huge stone in the mountains above Kyuden Doji was started with the blade Toshimoko carried. (Crane pp. 58-59)
