Special feature:Sa Yukihide was born in Asakura Hoshimaru-no-Sato, Joza-
gun, Chikuzen Province for 10 years as a son of Ito Matabei Morishige.
And he himself has appointed the 39th generation of Chikuzen
Samonji, and there is a work inscribed on it.
In the first year of Tenpo, he learned the training technique of Shimizu
Hisayoshi, a master of Hosokawa Masayoshi. He went up to Edo again,
changed his residence to the Tosa clan’s residence in Fukagawa
Sunamura, and made making swords. Returning to Tosa, it is named
Touko. His sword was finished in the 3rd year of the Meiji era, and his later years are said to be a brewery in Yokohama with his son Ikuma until his death at the age of 75 in the 20th year of the Meiji era.

From Aoi Art:t is this Jyumonji Yari that many sword makers dream of making and seeing at least once. Many sword makers challenge
It is not something that can be done easily. He may have challenged this Jyumonji Yari when he learned that he would become Haito-rei in August of the 3rd year of the Meiji era and a few months later. First of all, Taihai is really good. Twice
Jigane is a wonderful Jigane reminiscent of another part of the country, using Itame hada well-crafted Jinie with Chikei and an old sword Jigane that doesn’t seem to be Shinshin to. Also, Hamon is not just Suguha, but Nijyu ba is applied and Sunagasi and kinsuji are working in the blade.
I have never seen Jyumonji Yari from Sa Yukihide and it is a rare item. Please strongly purchase it as a work that can be displayed in museums.
