Special feature: We have generations of Yamashiro Kuni Kunikiyo, and the 1st is said to be the most skilled swordsmith among them, and the 2nd is said to be the second-most skilled. They say that the 1st was from Matsumoto, Shinshu, and the son of the 3rd Sukemune. He was called \u201cYoshiuemon\u201d and after he moved to Kyoto, he became a pupil at Horikawa Kunihiro and named himself as Kunikiyo. Later he served Matsudaira Tadamasa in Echigo Takada. And when his master moved to Echizen Fukui, he followed him and moved there, too. In February of Kanei 4, he was approved as Yamashiro Daijo, and in February next year he became Yamashiro Kami. The 2nd was his second son and called Shibei. This work has \u201cIchi\u201d right after Kikumon. Generally, works by the 1st have no \u201cIchi\u201d after Kikumon, but ones by later generations including the 2nd have it. Moreover, we have a Tanto by the 2ndwhich has Mei of \u201cKikumon Ichi Yamashi Kami Kunikiyo\/(back)Tenna 2 Nen 8 Gatsu Hi\u201d, and this Mei is very similar to the one of this sword. That means, it is really probable that this one should be a work by the 2nd, but it is really difficult to judge which Kunikiyo by the evidences that we have now, so what we can do is only to wait for new researches.<\/p>\n

From Aoi Art: This Katana has Chu-Suguha and Futo-Suguha with Koashi and Yo on upper part, deep Nioi, and partial rough Nie is mixed into everywhere. Kuichigaiba appears. Sunagashi and Kinsuji come in. Nioikuchi starts to sink down. Marvelously-made. This sword has especially deep Nioikuchi and lots of functions in Hachu among all of his works. Kitae is Itame mixed with Mokume with lots of functions. Hadame is visible with thick layers of Jinie. It has some characteristics of old swords like blackish Jigane, and shows nice aspects of old swords. It has to be the best masterpiece that shows his greatest effort and skill. The blade is in really healthy condition and the shape is powerful and solid, we truly recommend this one to you.<\/p>\n
