Features: Awataguchi Tadatsuna was a swordsmith active in Osaka during the mid-Edo period and belonged to the lineage of the prestigious Awataguchi school of Kyoto.
\nIn particular, the second generation Tadatsuna became famous through an incident in the Tenmei era and is regarded as one of the representative Osaka swordsmiths of the 18th century.
\nAwataguchi Omi no Kami Tadatsuna was also known by the art name \u201cIkkanshi\u201d and was highly esteemed as a master of horimono carvings.
\nHe claimed descent from Awataguchi Kunituna of Kamakura-period Kyoto.
\nHis father, the first-generation Tadatsuna, moved to Osaka and received the title \u201cOmi no Kami.\u201d
\nThe second-generation Tadatsuna is especially well known.

\nIt is said that the weapon used in that attack was a large wakizashi made by the second-generation Tadatsuna.
