Aoi Art\u2019s Comment:\u3000He was the son of Hizen Yoshie and bore the Hashimoto surname.
\nIn early works, \u201c\u6469\u201d in Harima no Jo was often written instead of \u201c\u78e8.\u201d
\nHis works span from the Kan\u2019ei to the Kanbun era.
\nHis style resembles that of Higo no Kami Masahiro and Kawachi no Kami Masahiro.
\nTadakuni\u2019s works have a slightly softer feel.
\nWe proudly present a well-made blade by Harima no Jo Fujiwara Tadakuni.
\nAlthough the registration paper lists the name as Hizen Ju Harima no Jo Fujiwara Tadakuni, we have confirmed with the Board of Education that this is a clerical error and there is no issue with the sword\u2019s legitimacy.
\nThis is truly a remarkable sword we are pleased to offer.<\/p>\n
