| Sadatsugu, whose personal name was Suzuki Jinjinuemon, was originally from Higo Province and was the younger brother of Suzuki Kaga no Kami Sadanori. Like his elder brother, he moved to Osaka and studied under Inoue Shinkai, one of the leading swordsmiths of the Shinto period. He was active from around the Enpo to Tenna eras (1673–1684) and signed his works “Sesshu-ju Fujiwara Sadatsugu” and “Iga no Kami Fujiwara Sadatsugu,” among other signatures.This sword displays the refined workmanship characteristic of the Inoue Shinkai tradition of Osaka Shinto. Its highlights are the finely forged and refined jigane and the bright, clear hamon, based on a straight pattern with varied gunome. The excellent quality of both the jigane and hamon is presented in a restrained and elegant manner. The sword is complemented by a gold-foil-covered two-part habaki and passed Tokubetsu Hozon Token Shinsa in 2026. |
