Welcome to Samurai Museum Shop. Thank you for finding our website. In this post, we would like to introduce one of the prominent Japanese swordsmiths. We hope you will enjoy reading this post.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0Tanba no Kami Yoshimichi(\u4e39\u6ce2\u5b88\u5409\u9053), whose real name was Mishina Kinuemon (\u4e09\u54c1\u91d1\u53f3\u885b\u9580), was active in sword-forging during the early Edo period (Mid-Late 17th century ) in Osaka. He belonged to Osaka Mishina school, one of the most prestigious schools back then.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0The swordsmith Yoshimichi prospered in Osaka and Kyoto for generations during the Edo period. And to distinguish the two Yoshimichi, The one in Osaka is called Osaka Yoshimichi, and the other one is called Kyo Yoshimichi. And, we believe this blade was created by the first-gen Osaka Yoshimichi.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0The first-gen Osaka Yoshimichi was born in the third year of the Keicho era (1598) as the second son of the first-gen Kyo Tanba no Kami Yoshimichi in Kyoto. His father was one of the most skilled sword makers in Kyoto city, and Yoshimichi learned sword-forging skills from him first. Later, he received the honorable official title Tanba no Kami and moved to Osaka city during the Seiho era (1644-1648). He was especially active in sword-forging during the Jo-Ou era (1652-1655). He became an independent swordsmith in Osaka city and made the fame of Mishina school spread in Osaka.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0His father developed a unique Hamon pattern(tempering line) called Sudareba(\u7c3e\u5203). Sudare means traditional screens or blinds in Japanese. The Hamon pattern he invented resembles its appearance to Sudare. This blade has a beautiful Sudareba Hamon. This special characteristic was passed down to the first-gen Osaka Yoshimichi.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-4474 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.samuraimuseum.jp\/shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/settsu_OCMOJ_0802.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"595\" height=\"350\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-4474 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.samuraimuseum.jp\/shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/settsu_JMAP_0709.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0The first-gen Kyo Tanba no Kami Yoshimichi belonged to Kyoto Mishina school and was one of the sons of the Mishina school\u2019s founder. Mishina school was created by the first-gen Mutsu no Kami Omichi (\u9678\u5965\u5b88\u5927\u9053), also known as Kanemichi. It is said that initially, Kanemichi was from Mino province, exclusively forging blades for Shingen Takeda, a famous feudal lord. Later on, he moved to Kyoto by bringing his four sons and founded his school in Kyoto. Five sons were Iga no Kami Kinmichi(\u4f0a\u8cc0\u5b88\u91d1\u9053)\u3001Izumi no Kami Rai Kinmichi(\u548c\u6cc9\u5b88\u6765\u91d1\u9053), <strong>Tanba no Kami Yoshimichi(\u4e39\u6ce2\u5b88\u5409\u9053)<\/strong>\u00a0and Echu no kami Masatoshi(\u8d8a\u4e2d\u5b88\u6b63\u4fca).
