[ Highlight ] Shigekuni, whose home country is Yamato and whose alias is Kurosaburo, is said to be the last of the Tegai school. He served Tokugawa Ieyasu during the Keicho period (1603-1867) and made his swords in Sunpu (present-day Shizuoka). Later, when Yorinobu was transferred to Wakayama in Kishu, he settled there accordingly. The same name has been used for several generations. The ji and the blade are both bright and well finished in the style of Yamato-den straight blades.
