- Written on the tang of his blade is 九州日向住国広作 (front) and 天正十八年庚寅弐月吉日 平顕長 (back), which translates to 'crafted by Kunihiro, who lived in Hyuuga, Kyuushuu' and 'one of the auspicious days of February 1590 (18th year of Tenshou era), Taira Akinaga' respectively.
18th year of Tenshou era (1590 AD): Yamanbagiri Kunihiro is made under the request of Nagao Akinaga. After the Siege of Odawara, he’s handed over to one of Houjou clan’s rounin, Ishihara Jinzaemon. From here on, the legend that it was him who slayed Yamanba was born.
5th year of Keichou era (1600 AD): Battle of Sekigahara. In the Ii camp, Ishihara sold it to Atsumi Heihachirou, who had broken his katana.
Pre-Meiji era (1868 AD - ): Atsumi’s family fallen into poverty and it was pawned to a soy sauce dealer named Kitamura. Then it was bought by a former Hikone samurai named Mii, who treasured the blade.
1920: Bought by kokuhō Shinsa member Sugihara Shōzō.
12th year of Taishou era (1923 AD): The Great Kantou Earthquake. A rumor that Yamanbagiri Kunihiro got burnt and lost was spread.
Shouwa era (1940 ~ 1960? AD): Sankyo’s family asked for the Ii clan to buy the sword from them because they’re in need of money. The owner of an antique shop requested for the Ii clan to let him buy it from them. After that, the sword was handed over to Ise Torahiko.
