From OSHU
SHIGA KORI.
YUKI
HIDEYASU,
TOKUGAWA
IYEYASUs' son,
went with
HIDEYOSHI to
KOREA at
16. Sided with
his father for
SEKIGAHARA and
took over
ECHIZEN. He
funded
an
ECHIZEN
sword smithy
for SHIMOSAKA
under
patronage of
HONDA
NARISHIGE.
They put 40
KOKU together
for him.
SHIMOSAKA
received the
shared title
of HIGO DAIJO,
which his main
group used and
bannered
together.
HIDEYASU
dropped his
prior name of
YUKI but
retained his
MATSUDAIRA. In
1607, 33 year
old HIDEYASU
died. IYEYASU
then brought
his son's
sword smith
into the
TOKUGAWA
BAKUFU stable,
awarding him
the "YASU"
character from
their name,
HIDEYASU and
IYEYASU and
the TOKUGAWA
AOI MON.
From this time,
SHIMOSAKA(1)
becomes
YASUTSUGU and
lives two
years at a
time
alternating
between
ECHIZEN and
EDO.

Yasutsugu(3)
Kan-Bun 1661:
Founder
of the Echizen
Yasutsugu
line.
Shimosaka
Shirouemon or Ichiuemon. 3rd brother
of the First
Generation Yasutsugu. At the death
of the second generation
Yasutsugu in Edo, he received, at
the Echizen Mansion, the
appointment of inheritance of
Yasutsugu and became Echizen
Yasutsugu, then to be called the 3rd
Yasutsugu, following the
second generation.
Yasutsugu 3rd Generation is the
founder of the Echizen Yasutsugu
Family. The son of the Second
Yasutsugu received the 3rd Musashi
Yasutsugu and continued the Edo
branch. This is how the two
branches came in to being.
His work-period spans Kanbun 1661 to
Enpo 1679. He died on the
first
day of the year Shogatsu, Tenwa
1681.
Many of his swords are in the style
of the first Yasutsugu and the
second Yasutsugu.
There is discussion of the exact way
he signed his "Yasu" and his
"Tsugu" in relation with the other
Yasutsugu and how each had
their
own particular method of placing the
strokes of the characters.

chart above.
