Not much is known about this smith only that he work around Jokyo (1684-1688). Looking at this sword it looks to be more of a koto blade than shinto so perhaps he was working in the old style of sword making. The hamon is very elegant and has a very subdued feel to it. You will find activity in this hamon and even in the boshi. The hada is forged well and is accompanied with mounts.
