Appraisal Quiz #723


Previous answer is
  Echigo Kami Kanesada
越後守包貞

Special feature: Echigo Kami Kanesada learned sword making from Echigo Kami Kanesada the 1st and succeeded him, and at first called himself as Echigo Kami Kanesa, but as soon as his master’s son became adult, he gave him the name back and called himself as Sakakura Gonnoshin Terukane. It is said that he changed his Mei around February in Hoei 8. His style is very similar to Sukehiro works. He made slightly squared Gunome with deep Nioikuchi to make bright and uniquely solid and powerful work.
