Features: He became the adopted son of a disciple of the first-generation Kanesada, inherited the name Kanesada, and later took the title Echigo no Kami Kanesada.
\nThe hamon shows a deep nioiguchi with a wave-like midare pattern, likely inspired by Sukehira\u2019s toranba style.
\nDuring this period, demand for swords had declined, requiring swordsmiths to develop creative innovations.
\nIn particular, Sukehira\u2019s toranba was widely imitated by many craftsmen.
\nArtisans experimented by adding carvings, gold inlays, and various other techniques to create distinctive works.<\/p>\n
