UJIFUSA HIDA NO KAMI [KEICHÔ 1596 MINO] SHINTÔ JÔSAKU
Although he is said to be in the Wakasa no Kami Ujifusa Mon, it seems as if he was his son and he inherited the name of Ujifusa. His original kuni is Mino, and he later lived in Owari. There is one katana with the nengo of Keichô Kyûnen on it, and it appears that his works extend from this time into around Kan'ei. The katana he made have a wide body, hamon is notare midare, and they have a violent style that is reminiscent of Ise Muramasa. (Wazamono)
It seems that there are generations of a Hôki no Kami Nobutaka from this same kuni, and there is even a first, second and third generation Ujifusa. The nidai is Bizen no Kami Ujifusa, and the sandai is Hida no Kami, the same as the shodai. Therefore, the point of difference between the first and third generation is the fact that in the latter, the fineness of the chisel marks in the mei is noticeable.
