The Koaoe school(古青江派) has Yasuji as its founder, and has produced many other master blacksmiths such as sadatsugu(貞次), tsunetsugu(恒次), and tsuguie(次家), who are famous as Gotobain -bankaji, as well as moritoshi(守利), suketsugu(助次), nobetsugu(延次), kanetsugu(包次), and yasutsugu(康次). The style of this work was achieved by moritsugu(守次), tsuguyoshi(次吉), tsugunao(次直) and others during the peak of the Nanbokucho period.
中国地方は古来より良質な鉄の産地として知られ、青江派の刀工は同国の子位や万寿の地で作刀し、同派の中で平安時代後期から鎌倉時代中期までのものを古青江と総称しています。古青江派は安次を祖として、後鳥羽院番鍛冶として名高い貞次・恒次・次家がおり、他に守利・助次・延次・包次・康次など多くの名工を輩出しています。本作のような作風は南北朝最盛期の守次・次吉・次直らにより大成されている。
