This listing features a tachi forged by Yasutake, a prominent swordsmith during and after WWII. It is modeled after the beloved tachi of Tokugawa Ieyasu, known as 'Myojun Denji Sohaya no Tsurugi Utsusunari,' which is preserved at Kunozan Toshogu Shrine in Shizuoka Prefecture. The name 'Myojun' refers to Saitō Toshikuni, a senior vassal of the Mino warlord Toki clan, who inherited the 'Sohaya sword' as a symbol of full authority from the imperial court, passed down from Fujiwara Toshihito, a Chinjufu Shogun of the mid-Heian period.
