modern smith?


Recommended Posts

Gentlemen

 

This sword was bought a few years ago, and I was wondering , was he very prolific, and if so, does anyone have 

any examples of his work?  Is he very popular etc  , actually any info on him would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

Looks a very nice blade, and yes, the ikkansai lineage is highly regarded (Joe or Chris can expand on this, I'm sure).  Since that sword is 73 cm but looks short in the photo, I am guessing that it is a very stout, heavy and impressive blade in the hand.

I think he's still alive and working. Or, maybe just now entering retirement, because as of 2019 he was accepting offers of new works. His website hasn't been updated in over a year, but here it is. Born in 1951...he is younger than, say, Paul McCartney.

Prolific and very skilled, I would say.
