Special feature: Zushu Mishima Ju Yusuishin Sadayoshi learned how to make swords under Gassan Sadakatsu. It is surprising that he acquired Ayasugihada, the secret of Gassan family. He was born in 1908(Meiji 41) and later became a pupil of Gassan Sadakatsu, the son of Gassan Sadakazu. Later, he gained number of prizes and became Mukansa swordsmith. He was very good at Soshuden and traced Shizu works and gained reputation. Yusuishin(湧水心) possibly comes from his place, Mishima, was famous for clean water from Mt. Fuji.

From Aoi Art: Mukansa swordsmith, Zushu Mishima Ju Yusuishin Sadayoshi made Ayasugihada swords, taught by Gassan Sadakatsu. We truly recommend this masterpiece.
