These pieces are both ubu mumei; the dai, viewed as old, is from the end of Muromachi, though there may be cases where it is seen as Shinto. As for the maker, perhaps it is around Sue-Bizen, Taira Takada, or Shinto Takada. It would be good to submit it for kantei once. The sho is a work no later than early Edo; from the shape of the nakago-jiri and other features it is a Kashu-mono, and from the ko-gunome deki with aligned yakigashira, I think it is a Shinto Kashu-mono, perhaps Yukimitsu or Kiyomitsu. It would be good to submit this one for kantei once as well. Currently, both have small rust and hike, but there are no major flaws, and the ji-ha are still healthy. The koshirae are also skillfully matched with the atmosphere of a daisho set, so they can be enjoyed.
