Features: Echizen-j\u016b Fujiwara Sadakuni was a swordsmith active in Echizen Province during the early Edo period. His workmanship closely resembles that of Yasutsugu, and he is said to have been a disciple of the first-generation Yasutsugu.
\nThis sword features its robust shape and heavy weight. As noted in the appraisal certificate, “Shimosaka was altered to Fujiwara” (\u300c\u4e0b\u5742\u3092\u85e4\u539f\u306b\u6539\u93e8\u300d). Interestingly, only the characters “Fujiwara” appear to have been forcibly re-engraved, resulting in an unusually distorted inscription that offers a fascinating glimpse into the sword’s history.<\/p>\n
