The shape and warping of the Hamon identifies it as the work of Geishu_Muneshige of the Muromachi period. Three generations of MUNESHIGE have been in existence since the middle of the Edo period, but the first and second generations are no longer extant, and the third generation Muneju is said to have only a dozen or so surviving strikes. The third generation Muneju is said to have only a dozen surviving swords. The founder was Sadayuki, a left-market swordsmith who came to Oyama from Chikuzen in the Nanboku period and is called Aki-sa. The neighboring countries of Bingo and Suo produced many sword smiths, but there were few sword smiths in Aki during the Ko-tou period. Koshirae, put together with dragons, is very eye-catching. Highly recommended.
