A very trivia question: anyone know where this guy is made? I mean, okay, he said it himself that he's made under the request of Ashikaga Castle's lord, so that'll make you think that he's made in Ashikaga, Tochigi Prefecture. But the inscription on him said this: 九州日向住国広作 (Kyuushuu Hyuuga-juu Kunihiro-saku, basically "made by Kunihiro, who lives in Hyuuga, Kyuushuu"). Does inscriptions don't absolutely have to refer to the place where a sword is made but can just tell about the swordsmith's origin?
