 Mumei(Senjuin)

Special feature: This sword is attributed to the Senjuin school of Yamato province. Senjyuin
is the name of a subsuduary temple of the Todai-ji temple at Nara. There were two schools:
one had its origin in Yukinobu circa Ninhei (1151), consisted of Yukiyoshi, Yoshiyuki, Ariyuki,
Yukimasa, etc. The other had its origin in Shigehiro, circa Nin-an (1166), consisted of Shigenaga,
