From Aoi Art: Around the Kanbun era, the demand for swords decreased because the situation calmed down. Swordsmiths had to make much more well-made works to live as swordsmiths. There came lots of new fashions like Toranba, blade carving, and
Saidanmei. They needed to try their best to make something different and filled with variety.
