Perry’s arrival in 1853 unraveled the Tokugawa peace and created the first mass demand for working swords in two centuries. Kiyomaro, called the Masamune of Yotsuya, died on its eve; Munetsugu and Yukihide carried the boom to the end.

A relaxed sugata with a difference between moto and saki width and thin hiraniku. A kitae with fine hada-tachi within a muji-fu. And the highlight is the flamboyant juka-choji hamon, the proof of a Bizen-to. Furthermore, the long ubu nakago emits a silvery luster, and one can feel the tagane-makura in the palm. ■ Sukehiro is said to be the son or disciple of the master smith Sukekane, and his name also appears in the Osafune Uchi-ken Ruimoto-cho compiled in Meiji 5. Additionally, works are held in the Tokyo National Museum, and moreover, this sword is a Showa 26 registration, a so-called Daimyo registration. ■ Even looking at the ubu-ba at the habaki-moto and the sharply standing matsuba-kado, you will understand the kenzen of this sword. Due to the old polish, shallow hike-kizu and discoloration are seen in the ji, but it can be sufficiently appreciated in this condition. A Yokoyama Sukehiro sword that concludes the history of Bizen-to. It is a yuhin that lets one feel the spirit of Shinshinto and the history of Bizen-to.
