Japanese Swordsmith
Mitsuhiro
I will keep trying to reproduce Soshu-den swords, hoping that my works move the hearts of people and stand the test of time, just like original ones.
Soshu-den: One of the Gokaden (the Five Main Traditions). Dynamic jigane and shining nie are the characteristics of Soshu-den swords made between the Kamakura and Nanbokucho periods.
