Iemori of Bizen was one of a small number of swordsmiths identified with the Kozori school, a subsection of the Osafune school. This blade exhibits typical characteristics of the time and place it was made. The elaborate revival-type mounting was made later, at the same time the blade was re-polished by the Takeya family of sword polishers.
