| Fujiwara Sadatoshi[藤原 貞俊] was a swordsmith in the late Edo period. He left a katana with a long inscription that reads, "Sasaki Ichiryusai Minamoto Sadatoshi, made from iron from the Tsuyama River of Yazawa Mountain in Higashiyama, Mutsu.[佐々木一流斎源貞俊陸奥東山津谷川流谷沢山以出鉄作之]" and is said to be a descendant of the Mogusa[舞草] school of Mutsu Province. He forged in Shirakawa, and later became a swordsmith for the Mito clan, forging swords at the Shirahatayama Weapon Factory. His home province is Oshu. He used Go as ‘Seishinshi[清心子]’ and ‘Ichiryusai[一流斎]’. This wakizashi has bo-hi[棒樋] with soe-hi[添樋] on each sides, and has a dense, moist mokume-hada with a soroi-gunome juzu-ha pattern hamon. The neatly crafted nakago/tang shows the master's skill. An excellent work that seems to be a reproduce of Kotetsu[虎徹]. It has passed the Tokubetsu Hozon Token in 2024. |
