This sword has been in the possession of the Tokugawa family.  The 8th Tokugawa Yoshimune then gave this sword to the Uesugi family as a gift.

I feel very honored to have been allowed the privilege of make a Shirasaya for this sword.  Swords of this age are generally tired from years of war and polishing.
