Is there a late shinshinto (三品源久道)Mishina Minamoto Hisamichi?

[Xander Chia]

I only managed to find 3 from Shinto and one from early shinshinto period. The 3 from Yamashiro and one from Iyo.

Forgot to add… Came across a sword sold as a Mishina Minamoto Hisamichi dated 1865 but could not find any info of a Hisamichi from this time period.

its could be that hes was just a overlooked or short lived smith.

There is one in Iyo;

 

Mishina Omi sandbi mago Minamoto Hisamichi saku

Yoshu Yoshida Mishina Minamoto Hisamichi saku

Mishina Minamoto Hisamichi

 

Keio - ordinary workmanship

 

from the Toko Zenshu 1988

Quote from Markus Seskos Swordsmiths

 

Quote

HISAMICHI (久道), Keiō (慶応, 1865-1868), Iyo – “Mishina Ōmi sandai no mago Minamoto Hisamichi saku” (三品近江三代孫源久道作, “made by Minamoto Hisamichi, grandson of the 3rd gen. Mishina Ōmi [no Kami Hismichi]”), “Yoshū Yoshida Mishina Minamoto Hisamichi saku” (予州吉田三品源久道作), “Mishina Minamoto Hisamichi” (三品源久道), according to his own information he was the grandson of the 3rd gen. Hisamichi, this would make him the son of the Iyo Hisamichi who was active around Kansei (寛政, 1789-1801) but it seems there is too much a gap between the active periods of these two smiths
