| Ikeda Isshu [池田一秀] (the first Nyudo Ryuken [初代 入道龍軒]) was born in Shonai, Dewa Province in 1773. He studied under Suishinshi Masahide [水心子正秀]. In 1805, he became the official swordsmith for the Sakai family, the lords of the Shonai domain, and moved to Tsuruoka, near the castle. He worked hard as a domain artisan. He died in 1841 at the age of 69, and the leanage continued through three generations until the end of the Edo period. This wakizashi was made to a special order and has a ko-itame jigane, and the blade has a clear choji-hamon with each ashi approaching the cutting edge, made in 1824, when Isshu was 51 years old and at the peak of his craftsmanship. It is of excellent quality. It has passed the Tokubetsu Hozon Token shinsa in 2019. |
