Shinsakuto daisho - Iyo Matsuyama Ju Seiken


Yama Arashi

Recommended Posts

Shinsakuto daisho by Gendai swordsmith Iyo Matsuyama Ju Seiken - Dated July 1988
Katana and wakizashi in full koshirae, along with shirasaya and koshirae insert for saya, and matching brocade sword bags. (pattern pictured behind menuki photo)
Kogatana with the wakizashi.
Simple fuchi-kashira with mountain/shrine theme tsuba and kirin menuki.

Polish on both blades is pristine. No damage and have never been used to cut. Both sword still have ubu-ba.
Impressive swords in both size and weight - gunome midare with heavy sunagashi and kinsuji worked in the ha.


"The real name of the Yasuken (Yasukuni) swordsmith is Gouda Toshiyuki, born in 1926, living in Heiwa-dori, Matsuyama, Ehime.
He learned Soshu-den from the family of living national treasure swordsmiths Tsukiyama Teiichi and Takahashi Sadatsugu, and was introduced to the swordsmith Torio Hiromasa in 1939.
In 1944, he began making swords at the Torio Gunto Forging Factory.
In 1970, he was introduced to Sakai Shigemasa, who further refined his sword making skills.
He is a member of the All Japan Swordsmith Association and has received many awards including the Special Prize and the Award for Effort."
