Special feature : Yukihiro was a swordsmith of Hizen province. He was the Second son of Hashimoto Yoshinobu. Yukihiro got the title of Dewa Daijo in 1648 and ranked up to Dewa (No) Kami in 1663. He went to Nagasaki to learn under Hisatsugu and Tanenaga who were well informed about western steels brought by the Dutch. Later he became a retained swordsmith of the Nabeshima family and lived in Nagase town. He passed away in 1683, aged 66.

\nThis blade is quite healthy and fantastic without kizu and flow.
\nThe Dai-jingu is the popular name for “Ise shrine (This shrine\u3000is in Ise-cho, Saga city)”. That origin is that Nabeshima Naoshige pray for his heir and has a baby boy. That boy was Nabeshima Katsushige. He became a first Saga domain head.<\/p>\n
