Ietsugu (Kaga) [家次(加賀)] is said to have been founded by the son of Kunitsugu [国次], a disciple of Kaga Sanekage [真景], with the first generation dating to the Oei era, early Muromachi period, continuing through the Edo period. Ietsugu swords from the Koto period resemble Aoe school swords in style and are sometimes mistaken for Bitchu Aoe Ietsugu, being called “Kaga Aoe [加賀青江].” They are also referred to as the “Hashizume school [橋爪派]” because the swordsmiths resided in Hashizume, Nomi Village (present-day Komatsu City). This wakizashi, based on its signature and style, is attributed to Kaga Aoe from the Eishō to Tenbun periods. It passed the Tokubetsu Hozon Token shinsa in 2021. |
