Detailsokoyama Sukemitsu, whose common name was Kijūrō, was born in Aoyama, Edo. Aspiring to become a swordsmith, he joined the Yokoyama school of Osafune in Bizen Province, where he studied the art of sword-making and took the name Sukemitsu.

During his travels from Mutsu Province to Hitachi Province, he met the swordsmith Katsumura Tokukatsu in the castle town of Mito and assisted in his forging work. Impressed by his exceptional skill, Tokugawa Nariaki, the lord of the Mito Domain, appointed him as an official domain swordsmith.

This particular sword is a masterpiece by Sukemitsu, featuring a large kissaki (point) and a midareba (irregular temper line) made up of gunome (wavy patterns) mixed with small chōji (clove-shaped patterns). It is a faithful reproduction of the style of the famous Nagayoshi from the Nanbokuchō period, and represents the pinnacle of Sukemitsu’s craftsmanship.
