Gendai O-Kogatana
Yakuwa
Yasutake (1909-1984) was born in Yamagata. His teachers were Yasumitsu and
Yasushige.
He became a 'Sakite' in Showa 14 (1939) and later a 'Yasukuni
Tosho' in Showa 29 (1954). In 1981, he became a
'MUKANSA'.
Traditionally, the swordsmith tempers the blade and does
careful file work to one side before signing.
Then, he carves his Mei
on filed surface and polish's the side
without.
O-Kogatana is papered from the NTHK in 1991 with 6 stamps including
Yoshikawa Sensei.
