Special feature: Enju Taro Muneyoshi is a swordsmith from Tamba province, and his name was originally Kiyotake Shintaro. He made Masamedeki, or very dense Jigane with wide Suguha. He engraved “Oite Bushu Efu” because he made it in Edo. Mei is engraved very well in Sosho style, so we can say that he had to be a wise, educated man.

From Aoi Art: It is very rare to find something like this, a work with Mei of “Oite Bushu Efu Enju Taro Muneyoshi”. We truly recommend this to you.
