The Hamabe Toshinori Group

The Hamabe group served the Tottori family of Inaba Han located on the Japan seaside of Honshu on the Sanindô highroad.

Hamabe Toshinori – his given name was Hamabe Kyurôemon, his first name as a working smith was Kaneyoshi 兼賀, he was then under the tutelage of Kanesaki, later in Edo he used the mei Toshinori 頴悳. It is said given the remoteness of his home in Inaba he traveled to other parts of the country to perfect his craft. Starting with Bizen to study under the Sukesada, then to Osaka to the forge of  later generation Tamba no Kami Yoshimichi, and some say to Otsuka Edo where he became one of the many pupils in the school of Suishinshi Masahide. He was encouraged in his studies by the famous and well-connected sword scholar Kamada Gyomyo author of the Shintô Bengi. In Tenmei 5 nen (1785), at the age of 41, he received the Mino no Kami title and began signing Toshinori 壽格.  At the same time, he became the Tottori Han O-kakae Kaji.

Miyoshi Toshitaka was likely the son of Miyoshi Toshiharu. Here is some information on him from Sesko’s index:

style, but he also learned from Kamada Natae (鎌田魚妙), the author of the „Shintō-bengi“, due to the close relationship of the Inaba and the
Bizen-Okayama fief – both were ruled by a branch of the Ikeda family (池田) – Toshinori was also able to learn the techniques of the Bizen
tradition, he received the honorary title „Mino no Kami“ (美濃守) in the fifth year of Tenmei (天明, 1785), this was the occasion when he

his jihada tends to muji and the hamon is a gunome-midare mixed with chōji or kobushigata-chōji-midare which reminds altogether of a
tōran-midare and the interpretations of Naka-Kawachi Kunisuke (中河内国助), his nioiguchi is compact

Second
Toshizane (寿実), Kansei (寛政, 1789-1801), Inaba/Edo – „Toshikuni“ (寿国), „Tōto ni oite Hamkabe Minryūshi Toshizane“ (於東都浜部

studied under the 3rd Hamabe-gen. Toshiyuki (寿幸), because Toshiyuki´s heir Toshimitsu (寿光) was too young to take over the family at
the time of his fathers death, Toshihide was ordered to take care of Toshimitsu, therefore some sources list him incorrectly as 4th gen.
Hamabe, but Toshimitsu succeeded as 4th gen. of this family after coming of age, but Toshihide was allowed to use the Hamabe- gō
