It looks like we have a new Osafune blade.

Goke Kanemitsu (1), the widow's blade. He is best known as Naoe Kanetsugu's beloved blade, and he gets his name from when Kanetsugu's wife, Naoe Osen, presented him to the Uesugi Family. He currently resides in the Seikado Bunko Art Museum (2).

Kanetsugu is well known for serving Uesugi Kenshin and his adopted son, Uesugi Kagekatsu. It's said, from the book "The Life of Toyotomi Hideyoshi" (3), that Toyotomi Hideyoshi visited Uesugi Kagekatsu. Kagekatsu called a council between his trusted advisors, and it was Kanetsugu who advised in meeting with Toyotomi (while everyone else advised for assassination). Thanks to Kanetsugu's advice, Kagekatsu avoided war with the Toyotomi and agreed to follow the Toyotomi clan in their effort to unify Japan.

Well, that book is old, so take it with a grain of salt. However, Kanetsugu was well respected by the Uesugi and his advice was considered heavily. He started serving the clan at age 22, and he was a formidable commander in the Battle of Tedorigawa (4), between the Uesugi and Nobunaga forces. Kanetsugu also fought battles against Sassa Narimasa and Maeda Toshiie in the Sea of Japan after Tedorigawa. He followed the Uesugi all the way to the end, even being part of the leadup to the Battle of Sekigahara.

I wish I could provide more information, in English, on Naoe Kanetsugu, but unfortunately there isn't a lot. Here's a few sites, in Japanese, that Wikipedia is citing: 1st (Archived), 2nd, 3rd (Archived).

As for what I linked, there's the twitter announcement above the picture, the Tsuruginoya page (1) on Goke, the Seikado Bunko Art Museum's website (2), the book "The Life of Toyotomi Hideyoshi", published 1888, on the Internet Archive (3) (start page 629 of the scan to read about that specific moment), and an archived English webpage on Uesugi Kenshin (4).

It's just my theory where Tomomori comes from. Hairstyle from Tsurumaru and face from Goke Kanemitsu (also the voice). Prove me if i'm wrong.

Saniwa: What are you doing now?

Goke, severely damaged: At the moment, I believe I'm in the process of dying, aruji...

Goke is finally mine!! After two weeks of hard work!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[aria0fgold]

How do I keep finding em... Or rather how do they keep finding me? Big brotherly type characters with red or red adjacent hairs with a fringe swept to the side and a mullet/wolfcut type hair like HOW DO YOU KEEP FINDING ME (those are exactly characters that i like)

Author: Kanetsugu-san. I have my Saniwa OC (from Touken Ranbu) and he has sword-

Ryuji: I have one of your sword named "Goke Kanemitsu". He used to be Uesugi Kenshin then he gave it to you. Goke explained it (btw i manifested it as human so technically he is sword with human body). See? What do you think? He is full of love same as you, he said (?)

Did you also use a potion to transform my sword into a human? And what do you mean by “full of love”?

sorter updates (Dec 20 2023)

hello saniwas, happy end of 2023!

winter regi brings a new sword as usual, which means...

🎊 Goke Kanemitsu has been added to the sorter!

man, the osafune really are well dressed, aren't they? the uesugis are one of my personal favorite sword groups (cough what a surprise, I love himetsuru and gokotai) so I'm happy to see another one in game, especially one that's friends with hime!

may your chaos stages be merciful! have a happy holidays if you celebrate any winter (or summer!) solstice-y events, wherever you are☃️

have your favorite touken danshi rankings changed this year? or have they never kept still in the first place? (mine seem to be kind of consistent at the top and the rest is a mess depending on what new content came out recently)

I hope that your swords continue to offer you comfort as we time travel into the future ☆*:･ﾟ✧

I think...Every time I try to imagine Cyril/Cyran now, I'm going to see Goke Kanemitsu

Yoritomo-sama sneezes(?) 😳

Context: Both Goke and Yoritomo have the same voice actor, Jun Fukuyama.
