Special feature : Yokoyama Kozuke Daijyo Fujiwara Sukesada is called
Heibei and a son of the Shichibei.
At late Muromachi period, the river Yoshi flood, Bizen school sword makers were
destructive destruction and also demanding swords were reduced
because war times were end. Yokoyama Kozuke Daijyo Fujiwara Sukesada,
Sichibei sukesada and Yamato daijyo sukesada are working in Edo period by constructed scale.
This sword accompanied with NBTHK tokubetsu Kicyo token but slightly I feel
questionable signature. So we don't guarantee NBTHK Hozon paper at this time.
