Hi all.

I recently purchased a gendai kogatana from Japan with what I believe is the original paperwork for it. It contains the word NASA in amongst the kanji so I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to provide a translation.

Many thanks

The leaflet was written by Japan Steel Works, Ltd. Muroran factory.

It describes that the Zuisen kogatana was made by Horii Tanetsugu of Zuisen Sword Smithy (in Muroran factory). And Horii Tanetsugu’s careers are listed.

Among his careers, the leaflet says that a commemorative sword was gifted to NASA in 1984.
