Hoki Yasutsuna: Founder of Japanese Swords and a legendary master craftsman
Hoki Yasutsuna, the author of Dojikiri Yasutsuna
Yasuna Hoki, a swordsmith who played an active part in Hoki Country (now western Tottori Prefecture) in the middle of the Heian period, is a legendary master who carved a name in the history of Japanese swords. The foot of Oyama was rich in iron sand, water, and charcoal, making it the perfect land for swordsmithing. Yasutsuna endured real battles in this area and trained many famous swords with beauty.
One of Yasutsuna's masterpieces is the national treasure "Dojigiri Yasutsuna". It is one of the five world swords that Yorimitsu Minamotono is said to have defeated the demon of Mount Oe, Shuten Doji, and is now owned by the Tokyo National Museum. The gentle blade pattern based on a straight blade and the fine beauty of ground iron still attract viewers after a thousand years.
In Ohara, Hoki-cho, there is a monument to the Hoki Yasutsuna tradition, and you can feel its history.
