Made 1933 and gave as a gift to the Imperial family when the later Akihito Tenno was born.

Daniel Bürgin from Switzerland wrote the book: Muteki - ohne Gegner ( German ) Geschichten von japanischen Schwertschmieden und Schwertern published june 2020 "Es ist die Absicht, von einer repräsentativen Auswahl japanischer Schwertschmiede mehr zu überliefern als nur den Namen und ein paar Lebensdaten."
