[ Highlight ] In the group of swordsmiths in Bizen, works by forgers who did not belong to the Kanemitsu school, Nagayoshi, Motoshige or Omiya school of sword making from the late Northern and Southern Dynasties to the early Muromachi period are collectively known as kozori-mono. It is thought that swordsmiths who belonged to the lineage of Hidemitsu, a representative of the kozori type of swordsmith, bore the character for "秀" in their inscriptions, and Hidesuke is thought to be one of these. There are relatively few surviving examples of the Hidesuke style and it is a valuable piece of work for reference. The fine deep sori of this sword shows the characteristics of early Muromachi kozori-mono.
