founder of the Kishu Ishido school.<br \/>\nHe later moved to Osaka and, alongside the renowned smith Tadara Nagayuki, became one of the founding figures of the Osaka Ishido school.<br \/>\nAfter receiving the title Bitchu no Kami, he began carving the chrysanthemum crest (kikumon) on the back of the tang.<br \/>\nAs the founder of Osaka Ishido, he produced works featuring choji-midare with utsuri and also created spectacular t\u014dranba styles.<br \/>\nThese traits make his works especially notable.<\/p>\n<p>Historical Background: During the Kanbun era of the Edo period, swordsmiths made great efforts to refine their techniques, aiming to produce blades worthy of admiration.<br \/>\nThis period saw the emergence of features such as gold-inlaid cutting test inscriptions, flamboyant t\u014dranba, deeply defined nioiguchi, and elaborate carvings on the blade.<br \/>\nCompared to cutting performance, more decorative and visually striking blades were favored and popular among many samurai.<\/p>\n<p>NBTHK Tokubetsu Hozon Token<br \/>\nAoi Art estimation paper: Whole Oshigata<br \/>\n*Please note: The price does not include shipping fees.<\/p>\n<p><a
