He was active from the end of the Nanbuchō era until the beginning of the Muromachi era. And many (of his works) that have been seen were from the Ōei chronicle years. His works have a Midare Hamon that is regularly intertwined with stable Suguha and rounded Gunome. Although this work is Mumei, It is a typical work that shows the maker’s skill. The sword comes with interesting documents stating that it was presented to Shimizu Suke'emon (清水助右衞門) as an O-Kanemitsu sword, for his actions in a battle named "田川原" (Tagawahara). The title “Higo no Kami” is also used as a reference point on both documents. More research is needed, but this has clearly been a sword treasured and preserved by many generations. The shirasaya and habaki are of very high quality and workmanship.

Markus Sesko looked at this today and suggested it is likely from the end of the Koto period. Another club member indicated that the habaki is likely very old. Thank you for looking! -Jake
