info needed on suishinshi hideyo

[1tallsword]

would any of you fine folks out there have any info on the smith suishinshi Hideyo ? anything will help? the only thing i can find is he is considered 3rd generation masahide with his father being suishinshi masatsugu ? am i way off here? are there differant generations of Hideyo? when was he active? and is he a highly rated smith? he seems to be from my minimal findings, thank you in advance,Jeremy

Mr 1tallsword,

if you just go online and type in "Japanese swordsmith Hideyo" or type in "samuraisword.com masatsugu" up will come a good Suishinshi line graphic by David Pepin 2005 which answers all your question....then you can ask us questions if you need to.

Easy....

thank you all, George i did do that. i try to exhaust all books and internet searches before asking here. and have done many other searches with no luck, i see the family tree lineage, what im confused at is in the print it states thats Hideyo was the brother of masatsugu, but then goes on to say masatsugu married naotane daughter and they had a son named Hideyo. my question is were there more than one hideyo? or am i reading this wrong? was there only one Hideyo and if so was he suishinsei masatsugu brother or son?? this may seem like a silly easy question but im stumped, thank you in advance,Jeremy
