Special feature: Suiseishi Kunihide was from Dewa province and his real name was Kato Kanshiro.
He was an apprentice of Suishinshi Masahide.
The first smith name is Masamichi. He was a father of Chounsai Tsunatoshi and Chounsai Tsunahide.
He was good at making Doranba and Gunome Midare with thick Nioikuchi.
From Aoi Art: He had very skillful hands and he worked hard under the Suishinshi.
His Doranba is excellent. He taught this technique to his son Tsunatoshi and Tsunahide. At a glance, you can see that this blade looks like Munetsugu.
I think that he is a skillful sword smith. The Ububa is left in this sword, and this is also a healthy blade.
We recommend this sword for you.
