「古青江貞次（こあおえさだつぐ）」刀剣鑑賞が100倍楽しくなる動画！ Japanese sword Ko-Aoe Sadatsugu The Aoe school, which emerged in the late Heian period in Bizen Province's Aoe, produced works until the period of the Northern and Southern Courts. Among these, those dating back to the mid-Kamakura period are referred to as "Ko-Aoe" (Old Aoe), and this work by Sadatsugu is highly renowned as a representative swordsmith of Ko-Aoe. Additionally, it is said that when Emperor Go-Toba gathered swordsmiths from across the country in Kyoto for monthly sword forging, Sadatsugu was also summoned, indicating the exceptionally high skill of Sadatsugu as a swordsmith.

Uda Kunimune The Uda school refers to a group of swordsmiths who migrated from Yamato Province, which is now Nara Prefecture, to Etchu Province, which is present-day Toyama Prefecture, during the late Kamakura period. The 1st-gen Kunimune is said to have been active during the Nanbokuchō period, and the name Kunimune was passed down through several generations until the Shintō period. The approximate time of Kunimune's sword making for this particular work is about 600 years ago, during the late Nanbokuchō period to the early Muromachi period, suggesting it was crafted by either the 1st-gen or 2nd-gen of Kunimune. 「宇多国宗（うだ くにむね）」刀剣鑑賞が100倍楽しくなる動画！ Japanese sword Uda Kunimune https://youtu.be/SysmjBQEptE

Sairen He was a swordsmith who was active in Chikuzen Province, which is now Fukuoka Prefecture, during the late Kamakura period. His common name was ""Kuniyoshi,"" and he became a Buddhist monk and adopted the name Sairen. He is said to be the grandfather of Samonji and was tasked with sword making as a member of the Hakata Dangi-sho, established to strengthen the defense of northern Kyūshū after the initial Mongol invasion. One of his distinguishing features is that his style differs from his grandson, Samonji, as he primarily followed the Yamato-den. 「西蓮（さいれん）」刀剣鑑賞が100倍楽しくなる動画！ Japanese sword Sairen https://youtu.be/gUg_W0Ez9mo

Kanesada & Muramasa (joint work) This Tantō is a collaboration between Muramasa and 2nd-gen Kanesada (commonly known as Nosada). 2nd-gen Kanesada became a famous swordsmith as the creator of ""Kasen Kanesada"". 2nd-gen Kanesada was a swordsmith who was active in Mino Province, present-day Gifu Prefecture, and Muramasa was active in Ise Province, present-day Mie Prefecture.

A swordsmith who is considered to be one of the Masamune-Jittetsu (10 philosophers of the Masamune sect), and is also known as ""Kamakura-Rai"". In addition to Kunitsugu, there were many other Rai-ha groups, mainly based on Yamashiro-den, but Kunitsugu's style was Sōshū-den-Like. It is natural to think that Sōshū-den is the main part because ""He became a disciple of Masamune."" However, it is said that this style was established because ""Kunitsugu incorporated the needs of the times into the teachings of the Rai school'' instead. The highlight of this Tachi is the beautiful Jihada! Please take your time and appreciate it. 「来国次（らいくにつぐ）」刀剣鑑賞が100倍楽しくなる動画！ Japanese sword Rai Kunitsugu https://youtu.be/turxo3p7CTs

Kiyomitsu The founder of the school was active in Kaga Province in the late Muromachi period. As a sword school, it belongs to the Fujishima school, which was also active in Kaga Province, and it is said that Tomoshige Fujishima, the founder of this school, studied under Rai Kunitoshi in Yamashiro Province. In other words, Kiyomitsu is also of the Rai school, but you can't really get a sense of the Rai style from Kiyomitsu's style. This is probably due to the adoption of Mino-den, which was popular at the time. Judging from the position of the inscription, this work is classified as a Katana, but judging from the way it is curved, it can be seen as a Tachi. In addition, the shape is Hirazukuri, which is a bit unusual. The Jihada is Ōhada like an Kotō, and it is a work with many highlights. Please enjoy watching!

Sanjō Munechika He was a swordsmith in the Heian period and lived in Sanjō in Yamashiro Province so he is called Sanjo Munechika. He is well known as a representative master swordsmith of the period when Japanese swords changed from straight swords to curved swords. Mikazuki Munechika, which is a national treasure, and Kogitsunemaru, which is handed down at Ishikiri Shrine, are very famous works by Munechika, so I'm sure you've heard of them at least once. Since Munechika's work is extremely rare, it is one of the most valuable swords among the swords introduced so far. The highlight of this work is...EVERYTHING! Not only the appearance of the Jihada, but also the appearance of the Nioikuchi, the style of the whole body, and the appearance of the Nakago, everything is a wonderful shot. Anyway, please enjoy the graceful Munechika! ! Japanese sword Sanjō Munechika https://youtu.be/VuhDplwadag

Muramasa is the most famous swordsmith in history along with Soshu Masamune, and if Masamune is the world's famous sword (Meito, art work), Muramasa can be said to be the world's best work (Wazamono, weapon sword). After the Edo period, it became widely known due to rumors about the legend of the bewitched sword, and as a result, it became difficult to use the name Muramasa around the middle of the Edo period, and it declined. On the other hand, around the end of the Tokugawa shogunate(Bakumatsu), Muramasa was favored by patriots as a symbol of overthrow of the Tokugawa shogunate, and on the other hand, masterpieces of Muramasa were created in Kabuki, Ukiyo-e, and other creative works. We will explain everything about "Muramasa" that you have heard about once, so please enjoy watching it! https://youtu.be/iFHtCxK1ovg
