Features: Masayuki, a disciple of Masachika, whose real name was Ichiji Masayoshi, began producing works around the Kansei era (1789).
\nIn Kansei 1, he received the title Hokinosuke and changed his name to Masayuki.
\nHis works extend to Bunka 14 (1817). He passed away at age 87 in Bunsei 2 (1819).
\nMasayuki was also known as an educator of swordsmiths.
\nIt is said that he produced works similar to Motohira, with a distinctive nakago feature\u2014a shifted ridge line towards the middle of the tang, a measure intended to prevent counterfeit signatures.
\nThis technique was common among Satsuma swordsmiths and warrants close inspection.<\/p>\n
