| Tadahiro was the son of Tadayoshi, the first generation of his tradition. Tadahiro produced more blades ranked Juyo-Token than any other of his time. He was born 1614 and after his father passed away, he took over swordsmithing as the second generation in 1632 at the age of 19 as Tadahiro. He received the title of "Omi Daijo" 1641. In 1693, he passed away at the age of 80. He forged many outstanding swords before the year of his death and created a strong reputation of his Tradition. Considering the Mei on this Kanata and the shape and Nakago, it was forged before he received the title of Omidaijo. It was likely forged between 1638 to 1639 during his younger years. The shape of this blade is longer tip and shallow curvature. It is relatively Keicho Shinto Style. The overall Katana give a very strong impression. It has passed the Tokubetsu Hozon Token in 1995. |
