Antique Japanese Sword Katana Signed by Yokoyama Sukenaga Daimei Sukemune with NBTHK Hozon Certificate 【Description】 According to the NBTHK certificate, this blade was signed by Yokoyama Sukemune (横山祐宗) . However, the signature on the blade reads “Bishu Osafune Ju Yokoyama Sukekane” (備州長船住横山祐包). This indicates that Sukemune signed on behalf of Sukekane, a practice known as Daimei (代銘). It was made in August, the year of the Keio era (1865). Daimei is a common practice where an apprentice or the child of a swordsmith signs their master’s name with the master’s permission. This means Sukemune worked under Sukekane, and his craftsmanship was likely at a level similar to his master. Historical records show that both Sukemune and Sukekane were active swordsmiths at the end of the Edo period in Bizen province. Sukekane worked between 1835 and 1872. Bizen, now part of Okayama Prefecture, is where the Osafune school of swordsmithing was located. “Bizen Osafune Jyu” refers to his residence in this area at the time the blade was made. It was common for swordsmiths to inscribe the place where they lived before signing the tang of the sword. Sukekane is one of the most famous swordsmiths from Bizen, particularly during the late Edo period. He is also known as the 13th-generation Sukesada. About Sukesada school Sukekane’s ancestors dated back to Sukesada school, one of the most famous schools, and flourished for generations among Osafune schools (The head branch). There were various styles forged by the generations of Sukesada during the Muromachi-Edo period. There were about 60 swordsmiths who used Sukesada as his maker’s name in Samurai history. The swordsmiths in Bizen produced many swords during the Muromachi period, as it was in the middle of the Sengoku period(Warring State period). The demand for weapons increased among strong feudal lords. However, The sword-forging tradition of Bizen province almost disappeared because of the disastrous flood of the Yoshii River (1591), which was close to Osafune school. Even after everything was destroyed, there were few remaining swordsmiths. One of them was a group of swordsmiths who signed Sukesada. The main member of the school was Yokoyama Fujishiro Sukesada, the fourth head of Sukesada School. And one of his children was Shichibei no Jyo Sukesada (七兵衛尉祐定). They became one of the pioneers that revitalized the sword-forging business in Bizen province. Sukekane was a descendant of this Sukesada. The history of Osafune School It is said that Osafune school was founded by Mitsutada (光忠), who was active during the mid-Kamakura period. Bizen Osafune school was the biggest one of all other schools in Bizen province, and they received many orders from feudal lords or renowned Samurai. They were called Osafunemono and beloved by Samurai warriors. Among the swordsmiths who belonged to this school, Nagamitsu, Sanenaga, and Kagemitsu are known as Osafune Sansaku, the three renowned Osafune swordsmiths. There are also four other prominent swordsmiths who were from Bizen Osafune school. They are called Osafune Shiten-no, the four masters of Osafune school. Their names are Nagamitsu, Kanemitsu, Nagayoshi, and Motoshige. BIZEN is located near the Chugoku Mountains, where iron sands, one of the essential materials for making Japanese swords, were abundant. Furthermore, BIZEN swordsmiths had close access to Yoshi River, where they could find water and charcoal. This geological location contributed to the swordsmiths forging high-quality refined blades. We presume BIZEN was quite active in sword-forging from ancient times. It is said that BIZEN DEN was created by groups of swordsmiths there during the late Heian era (Late 12th century). These ancient swordsmiths in Bizen province are called Ko-Bizen (Old Bizen) swordsmiths. By inheriting the sword forging techniques from Ko-Bizen swordsmiths, the Bizen Osafune school flourished from the mid-Kamakura period. This blade is appraised as a Hozon Touken (保存刀剣) issu
