they were both made by the kanesada school of swordsmiths but they're about nine generations apart (Kasen was made by the celebrated second generation (both he and Izumi no Kami mention this, just look) and Izumi no Kami was made by the eleventh or twelfth generation

so like, family-wise kasen would be like a great-grandpa or grand-uncle or something. they're distant relatives at best i guess?
