Hi, Patrick!

I own a daisho by Yoshiyuki and asked myself the same question but could not find out whose student he had been.

This is the only information I have so far:

 

Yoshiyuki was born 1814 in the village of Shimoyamasa, in Izumo province. His father was Yamazaki Hei-uemon, but he was adopted later by Shimizu Enzo Masayoshi from Hakushu province.

1844 he was permitted to make swords in Hoki. He was a well known swordsmith in his time and his swords are considered valuable and are hard to come by today. He worked until the end of the samurai era and passed away 1886.

 

Regards,
