of the 2nd generation Oumi Daijyo Tadahiro and succeeded
3rd generation. He got the tytle of the Mutsu Daijyo
at Manji 3rd year and changed the tytle to Mutsu
Kami at Kanbun 1st year. His posthumous work are very few
because he helped a lot for his father Tadahiro.

From Aoi Art: The inscription of Hizen Kuni Mutsu Kami Tadayoshi of
this work is engraved but unfortunately, it is treated as a
pseudonym unlike Jigane and Hamon of the blade. However, Hamon
often carves a Kakudome Hi on the front and a double Hi on
the back, so it can be said that it is a work that can be fully enjoyed as an Iai practice and Kaneyo.(watching the blade)
It is a bright and clear work that can be mistaken for Mutsu Kami
Tadayoshi.
