Swordsmith Fujiyasu Shohei was born in Showa 21 in Date-gun, Fukushima Prefecture. In Showa 41, he entered apprenticeship under the late Living National Treasure, master Miyairi Yukihira, a swordsmith of Sakaki-machi, Nagano Prefecture. In Showa 50, he opened a forge in Tatsukoyama, Fukushima Prefecture and became independent. Since then, through repeated research and discipline in sword making, he has received the Nippon Bijutsu Token Hozon Kyokai Yusho 3 times, Shoreisho 6 times, and Doryokusho 7 times. In Heisei 2, he received the Nippon Bijutsu Token Hozon Kyokai Kaicho-sho. In Heisei 14, he received the Nippon Bijutsu Token Hozon Kyokai Kanzan-sho. He has performed dedicatory forging at many shrines such as Owari Atsuta Jingu and Nara Gokoku Jinja, and in Heisei 20, he performed a nihonto dedicatory forging at Hitachi Kashima Jingu for the first time in approximately one thousand three hundred years since the sword making by Sabi no Omaro in 704. In the autumn of Showa 59, he also bore the great responsibility of serving in the respectful production of goshinbo tachi for the Ise Jingu 61st Shikinen Sengu, and he exerted great effort in supporting the reconstruction of Okoto Jinja in Minamisoma, Fukushima Prefecture, which suffered great damage in the recent earthquake, serving in the respectful production of a chokuto to become a goshinbo, and most recently (naochika), through the reconstruction forging of the large chokuto excavated from the Miyajidake Kofun in Fukuoka and other works, he possesses sword making techniques among the best of contemporary Japanese swordsmiths. Having a strong desire for the reproduction of koto swords of the Heian and Kamakura periods, he has engaged in research and discipline for many years, and with abundant knowledge and insight into Kokuho, Juyo Bunkazai, and similar swords, as well as satetsu and iron culture nationwide, he creates accurate and beautiful sugata regardless of whether he handles tachi, katana, tanto, wakizashi, naginata, or ancient chokuto. The skill of his jitetsu and yakiba is also vivid, boasting a wide range of production abilities, and his nakago-shitate such as nakago-yasuri and meibun is also the best among contemporary swordsmiths; the fact that after the death of his master Yukihira, he took charge of the master's biological son Miyairi Kozaemon Yukihira (Miyairi Kei) and had him undergo sword forging training as a disciple speaks to the deep trust of his master and the high level of his skill. In recent years, he has also worked on the research of swords of the Nara period such as chokuto and teboko housed in the Nara Shosoin, and the reconstruction production of Yagen Toshiro, Ichigo Hitofuri, Tsurumaru Kuninaga, and others. Ko-itame hada with masame-nagare, the jitetsu is well-packed with chikei entering. The nioiguchi is bright and clear, and above the machi, an unusual hataraki appeared that at first glance could be mistaken for a fingerprint, a work with a truly mysterious dekiguchi. An excellent piece that is beyond reproach as an omamorigatana for a family or a child. On the toshin, a verse of a waka poem "Kasumi ni mau mine no shiragumo" is cut with the skillful tagane-tsukai unique to master Shohei. While Shohei's works are expensive if they are swords, you can enjoy them easily if it is a kogatana. The forging method is exactly the same just because the size is small. You can fully enjoy the workmanship of the jiba. Please take this opportunity to obtain a Shohei. At the time of delivery, we will deliver it after cutting the mei "Shohei saku" on the nakago.
