![]() ![]() Sadayoshi adopted a son from Tsukamoto family and named him Sadakazu, who later became one of the most famous swordsmiths in the post Samurai period(Meiji era). However, after Sadayoshi became a highly-regarded swordsmith at the end of the Edo period, the whole school revitalized and flourished again because of his continuous effort. While Gassan school was known as one of the most prestigious schools from the Kamakura period(late 12th century), its presence faded in the early-mid Edo period. He also trained many apprentices, who later became notable swordsmiths at the end of the Edo period. He founded Osaka Gassan school there, improving his sword-forging technique even more and eventually settled there. And he moved to Osaka in 1833 when he was 30 years old.

When Sadayoshi became about 20 years old, he went to Edo city(today’s Tokyo) to serve Suishinshi Masahide(水心子正秀) as an apprentice. In Sadayoshi’s early career, he learned sword forging technique from his father, Okuyama Yasaburo Sadachika(山弥三郎貞近), who is said to have been a descendant of a member of O-Shu Gassan school (奥州月山), one of the oldest Gassan schools. It is said that the school name “Gassan” (月山) came from the fact that they forged swords near the mountain called Gassan in Dewakoku. It was initially founded during the Heian period(late 12th century). Gassan is the name of the school he belonged to. He was born in Dewakoku(Yamagata prefecture today) in 1781. Gassan Sadayoshi’s real name is Gassan Yahachiro. Naniwa is located in today’s Osaka prefecture, and Jyu means living in Japanese. Naniwa is where this swordsmith lived when he forged this blade.
