Features: Tanba no Kami Yoshimichi originated in Kyoto and later branched into Osaka, resulting in two distinct schools: Kyoto Tanba and Osaka Tanba.
\nThe sudareba hamon was first developed by the Kyoto 1st Generation and later adopted by both Kyoto and Osaka lines.
\nOsaka Tanba Yoshimichi often produced well-ordered sudareba, which appears to have been highly popular at the time.
\nThis particular blade features circular patterns within the hamon at both sides near the boshi\u2014a characteristic technique often used by the 3rd Generation Osaka Yoshimichi.
\nIf these round marks are present, the blade can be confidently attributed to the 3rd Generation.
\nHowever, please note that not all works with such traits are listed in the Shinto Taikan, so caution is advised.<\/p>\n

Aoi Art\u2019s Comment: During this period, the popularity of Japanese swords declined, making them harder to sell.
\nTo adapt, smiths began innovating to attract more interest\u2014introducing gold inlays, dot\u014dba (wavelike hamon), deep nioiguchi, sudareba, and masame-hada, among other features.
\nSuch decorative and distinctive styles helped the sword evolve into an object of appreciation rather than just a weapon.
\nThis shift coincided with the Genroku era, a time when merchant culture flourished.
\nAs J\u014druri theater, Kabuki, and other cultural arts thrived, samurai culture began to wane.
\nIt is likely that sudareba became a favored style in both Osaka and Kyoto during this cultural transformation.<\/p>\n
