Tsuruginoya (A Nihontou-Katana specialist shop) tweeted about Yamabushi Kunihiro in 4~6 Oct and else, you can look at the twitter account

- They've met a descendant of Handa Sukeyasu (飯田祐安) believed to be the successor of Itou clan ( 伊東家)  at the time Yamabushi was forged and given to

- Itou clan was fallen once by Shimadu clan (島津家) ,Kunihiro was a servant in this clan so he forged Yamabushi, giving to the successor as clan-recruiting charm.

- 武運長久 in the sword means to wish a long life for warriors, also carving the name Handa Sukeyasu in it, including title as the master of this tachi sword (太刀主)


 * When Itou clan was fallen, they was retreating and Kunihiro was hiding as a priest (山伏) so that's the origin of its name

1584 - unknown gap - Forged and seems to be in hold by Itou clan, maybe lost to other hand(s) at a time

1925 - 永野静雄  (the bank president in Saga;  日向中央銀行 )  was known to be its holder.

1926 - Mr. 永野 gave the sword to  伊東祐夫 (Both were in the same bank) means the sword came back to Itou family, the sword was shown in an exhibion called 国広会 (Kunihiro-kai) on June.

- Mr. 伊東祐夫 died in 1948

1950 - Given to 本阿弥 光博 (Honami Kohaku; they're katana expert families since a long time) Kohaku claimed that his father(本阿弥光遜; Honami Koson) spent around 22 days studying and polishing Yamabushi, giving detail of the sword to be the special piece by Kunihiro.

Kohaku died in 1979

Present - Unknown holder (Honami or Itou descendant ?)

In Summary - Yamabushi is a sword of fortune to his master house, whose name carved in blade as his only master. The wish of restoration was succeed and he's well-treated until present time.
