This beautiful blade is signed by Higo no Kami Hojyoji Tachibana Yoshitsugu (肥後守法城寺橘吉次), who was active during the mid-Edo period. He belonged to Edo Hojyoji School (江戸法城寺派), one of the most prestigious schools in Edo city during the early Edo period.
The school was originally founded by Hojyoji Kunimitsu, a renowned swordsmith in Tajima no Kuni (present-day Hyogo Prefecture) during the late Nanbokucho-Muromachi period.
Hojyoji Masahiro (法城寺正弘) is the one who moved to Edo city and founded the Edo Hojyoji school during the early Edo period. He would have been a descendant of Kunimitsu.
He was known for forging extremely sharp blades. Due to his popularity in the city of Edo, he was invited by the Shimazu clan in the 5th year of the Genroku era (1692). And he moved to Satsuma domain (present-day Kagoshima Prefecture). Bringing along his son Yoshikuni, he served the Shimazu clan as an Okakaekaji, a swordsmith who forged blades exclusively for a specific clan or domain. This fact indicates that he was a highly respected swordsmith in the Satsuma domain.
This very rare Japanese samurai sword is a real Japanese treasure highest-ranking sword.
