Special feature: Tadahiro the Second was born Heisakuro Hashimoto as a legitimate son of Tadayoshi the First. Tadahiro was only19 years old when his father passed away in1632 but he was enough skillful to forge a sword at that time. Tadahiro designated the Omi-Daijo in 1641, aged 29, and continued not only forging a sword but also supervised many pupils until his death in 1693, aged 80. He is known as a skillful swordsmith almost all works are above the standard hizen-to. He had been forged swords for a long period of time to leave the largest number of swords among the swordsmiths of Hizen school. He was good at both of Suguha-hamon and Choji-midare Hamon. Especially the beauty of Jigane called konuka-hada is appreciated as the best among the hizen-to. His swords are ranked at the Owaza-mono because of the sharpness.

From Aoi Art: Oumi Daijyo Fujiwara Tadahiro,f this work is the beauty of the Jigane and its volume. The width of the wakizashi is wide, thick, and solid, and the meat(Nikuoki) is well placed, making it a wonderful work. First of all, the polishing is wonderful and the goodness of the inane is more than enough It is a work that I would like to recommend by all means. At first glance, it is a work reminiscent of the longevity of old swords.
