Uemura SADAKIYO

[Beater]

Hi everyone,

 

I was recently offered a rather nice looking gendaito in shirasaya which was made by Echigo kuni ju Uemara Sadakiyo, which I am serious about buying.

 

He is listed in Slough’s as in the Special Honor Noted Seat (Sword forging teachers) and I know he and Amata Akitsugu were both pupils of Amata Sadayoshi.

I also believe Sadakiyo had two pupils himself - Uemura Sadayoshi (his son) and Sato Kiyokatsu.

 

I would like to know if anyone has any more information about Uemura SADAKIYO please?

Thanks in anticipation,

 

Kevin.
