Other Info
During the Sengoku period, under the protection of the daimyo Otomo clan, Bungo province was a place where swordsmiths flourished. This prosperity continued into the shinto era [新刀期], and swordsmiths produced some of the largest quantities in Japan, continuing until the Bakumatsu/end of the Edo period. Most of the Bungo swords from the shinto era are inscribed with "Fujiwara", so they are called "Fujiwara Takada [藤原高田]" in contrast to the koto era [古刀期] "Taira Takada [平高田]". The feature is a combination of Yamato, Yamashiro, Sagami, Mino, and Bizen traditions. This swordsmith "Yoshisada from Bungo [豊後住吉貞]". He was active during mid-Edo period, around the Genroku era. He didn't produce many swords. However, it is well made and has passed the Tokubetsu Hozon Token shinsa in 2024.
