专家说明

The smith is Masahiro II (1626 - 1700), the second of six or so generations of the Hashimoto family of the Tadayoshi line of Hizen province. He first signed using the name Masanaga, as had his father Masahiro I, and was granted the titles Musashi daijo and later Musashi no kami. His swords are regarded as highly as those of the first generation.
