[ Highlight ]
The first Omi no Kami Tadatsuna "初代近江守忠綱" was a member of the Asai "淺井" family. His home country was Himeji, Banshu, and there are works from the Kan'ei to Enpo period. After making swords at Yamashiro, he moved to Osaka in the first year of the Kean era and received the title of Governor of Omi. This work is characterized by the uniformity of the hamon heads in the choji-midare. The blade design, which has a relatively small pattern of choji-midare hamon into the broader tempered area, combined with the dense and clean ground iron, makes for a neat and attractive one. The sword was originally long in length, but has been greatly advanced and the tip of the stem has been removed, so it has a sleek appearance and the curve has been suppressed considerably. Awadaguchi "粟田口" is the name of a place in Kyoto, and it is known that first generation Omi no Kami Tadatsuna "初代近江守忠綱" started using Awadaguchi as his name around Kan'ei 19(1642).
