MORITAKA KONGÔHYÔE [KENMU 1334 CHIKUZEN]

                He is the son of Morikuni, and is called Kongôhyôe.  In the Kokin Meijin (Printed in Keichô, reprinted in Genroku), it says he is one of the ten disciples of Masamune, and his period was Genkô, and in the Kotô Meijin Daizen (printed in Kan'ei) he is removed as being one of the ten disciples of Masamune, and his period is changed to Bun'ô.  I have not seen any of his works. 

MORITAKA MINAMOTO [MEIÔ 1492 CHIKUZEN] SUEKOTÔ CHÛJÔSAKU

                In the works of Moritaka, the ji and ha are clear, hamon is sugu hotsure majiri.

 

This is a elegant very old katana made in Chikuzen province.  The work is very high and its in excellent condition for its age.  The activaty is very good with a very well forged hada.
