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.
江戸時代後期 摂津国。 月山貞吉門。号を見龍子と云う。信州松本藩増田氏なる武士の注文作。小板目鍛えの地鉄は微細に詰んで潤い感があり、微細な地沸が全面を覆って極上質の絹織物を思わせる上々の出来口。兄弟弟子の月山貞一にも引けを取らない同作中の出色作。
