Talk:Hikoshiro Sadamune

Horribly, Terribly, Wrong
Hiromitsu and Sadamune are two different people. Hikoshiro Sadamune is the one smith, and Kurasaboro Hiromitsu is the other. Both are considered students of Masamune. This article has melded them into one person. Every reference book states this. I am adding text from Fujishiro's Nihon Token Jiten as backup for the edit I am about to perform (basically removing references to Hiromitsu, since the data in this article is all about Soshu Hikoshiro Sadamune).

HIROMITSU SÔSHÛ [ENBUN 1356 ND SAGAMI] CHÛKOTÔ SAIJÔSAKU He is said to have been called Kurôsaburô, and the common story is that he was a pupil of Masamune [...] Hiromitsu is considered a representative of those referred to in the world as Sôshû den.

SADAMUNE SÔSHÛ [KENMU 1334 SAGAMI] He is called Hikoshirô, is considered to be the adopted son of Gorô Masamune, and Gôshû Takagi Sadamune is said to be either the same person or his son. [...]

Hikoshiro Hiromitsu → Hikoshiro Sadamune – This article has confused the two smiths documented here and combined them into one person. There does not exist a reference that makes the claim in this article that Sadamune is Hiromitsu and crosses their given names like this. The NBTHK is considered authoritative, and Dr. Junji who is referred to in this article has documented them as different smiths as well: http://www.touken.or.jp/english/nihon_koto_shi/%2813%29%20No.559.htm 17:49, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

According to sources

Souces says that he was a son or adopted son of Masamune. 彦四郎貞宗 (ひこしろうさだむね)

Probably, Hikoshirō Sadamune is correct. Takabeg (talk) 09:19, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
