Mino Senjuin Nagahiro (Muromachi): Mino Senjuin worked in Akasaka, which is why it is also known as Akasaka Senjuin.
The Nihonto Club and Markus Sesko lists three potential Nagahiro smiths, with some variations in the recorded dates. Their active periods span from 1460 to 1570. The Tokubetsu Kicho (grey) paper specifies Daiei, indicating the second generation according to Sesko.
Signed works by Mino Senjuin are said to be rare, making this sword particularly interesting.
