The NBTHK has attributed this work to the Kanehisa who were active around the Bunmei period (1469 – 1487). He came from the Mino Tokuin group of the Seki Shichi Ryu and is a respected creator. On the sword he signed Yasuhisa which he only did for a very very short time before changing to Hisahide. “Hisahide took over the former first name Kanjūrō of his father, and used first the name Yasuhisa (休久), followed by Narihisa (成久), before eventually arriving using the name Hisahide.” The 2 body test cut is a rare signature by Yamano Hisahide 3 rd gen Yamano. Tested March 1st of 1656. This beautiful blade comes with the NBTHK Hozon paper The beautiful Koshirae whas made for the imperial Toyatomi family. Comes with the NBTHK Tokubetsu paper.
