[ Highlight ] Ōmi no Daijo Tadahiro was the eldest son of the first Tadakichi. He lost his father at the age of nineteen in the ninth year of Kan'ei (1632), but with the support of his clan, works from the following year, the tenth year of Kan'ei (1633), when he was twenty, survive. He received the title of Ōmi no Daijyo in the seventh month of the eighteenth year of Kan'ei (1641) and continued for over sixty years until his death at the age of eighty-one in the sixth year of Genroku (1703). He created the largest number of works among Hizen swords and trained many disciples. Ōmi Daijo Tadahiro's style is broadly known to encompass two types: straight hamon and a uniform cho-ji midare pattern. This particular piece, however, features a gunome pattern. It possesses the characteristic form of a Hizen sword with a beautiful curvature, exhibiting a fine, grainy texture. It is a splendidly crafted piece, displaying a deep nioi with kin-sen gold lines and sunagashi.
