Shintogo Kunimitsu
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shintogo Kunimitsu was a Japanese swordsmith active during the Einin, Shōwa and Enkei periods, generally acknowledged to be the teacher of master swordsmith Masamune. This is due to various similarities in style and workmanship that indicate that Masamune was almost certainly his student.
He had several sons, who likely crafted a number of swords under his name.
