Antique Japanese Sword Wakizashi Signed by the first and second-gen Hisamichi with NBTHK Tokubestsu Hozon Certificate 【Description】 This blade was signed by Omi no Kami Minamoto Hisamichi (近江守源久道) and Chakushi Minamoto Rai Hisatsugu (嫡子源来久次) in the 3rd year of the Hoei era (1706: the mid Edo period). The swordsmith’s name Hisamichi lasted seven generations. Judging from the signature and year inscribed on the tang, we believed the first-gen Hisamichi and the second-gen Hisamichi, the son of the second-gen Rai Kimichi (来金道) and the legitimate child (嫡子, Chakushi) of the first-gen Hisamichi, forged it together. The first and second-gen were active in sword-forging during the early – mid Edo period. The first-gen Hisamichi was born in the second year of the Kan-Ei era (1625) in Omi province (today’s Shiga prefecture). He belonged to Mishina school, a prestigious school in Yamashiro province (today’s Kyoto prefecture). He studied sword forging techniques under the master, the second-gen Iganokami Kinmichi (伊賀守金道), one of the most famous swordsmiths in Yamashiro province during the early Edo period. The first-gen Hisamichi received the honorable title of Omi No Kami (近江守) in 1662 when he was 37 years old. The imperial court back then gave the title of Kami to those who were excellent at sword making. After receiving this title, the swordsmith added it to his maker’s name when he signed his swords, such as Omino Kami Hisamichi. The first-gen Hisamichi was also known as one of Gokaji. (five most prestigious swordsmiths in Kyoto). He was allowed to inscribe a chrysanthemum emblem, which is the symbol of the Japanese emperor. His sword forging technique was so great that the emperor permitted him to use this emblem, which was honorable for any swordsmith. The sword forged by him were also famous for their sharpness. He passed his excellent craftsmanship to the second-gen Hisamichi. And, he died at the age of 86 in 1711. The second Hisamichi was born in the third year of the Kanbun era (1663) as the son of the second-gen Rai Kimichi, who also belonged to Mishina school. He originally signed Hisatsugu (久次). He was eventually adopted by the first-gen Hisamichi and changed his maker’s name to Hisamichi. In the 15th year of the Genroku era, he received Omi no Kami title like his father. In the 7th year of the Kyoho era, the second-gen Hisamichi was ordered to stay in Edo City (Today’s Tokyo) to forge swords. The second Hisamichi left many works in collaboration with the first generation.
