This katana is signed by Bushu Jyu Yasuyoshi, an apprentice of the renowned Yamato no Kami Yasusada, active during the early Edo period (Enpo era, 1673-1681). Yasuyoshi was highly skilled, often performing 'Daisaku' for his master, leading to fewer signed blades by him. The sword comes with a beautiful dragon-themed koshirae and is certified as Tokubetsu Hozon by the NBTHK.
