This katana was made by Sukemitsu in Kaei 7 (1854), when he was 34 years old. Sukemitsu, originally Yokoyama Kijuro, was born in Edo in 1820 and studied under the Bizen Osafune Yokoyama school. He became a swordsmith for the Mito domain in 1849 and was invited to the weapon manufacturing facility on Mt. Shirahata. The blade comes with a棕梠微塵塗込鞘打刀拵 (shuro mijin nurikome saya uchigatana koshirae) and is certified as Tokubetsu Hozon Token by the NBTHK.
