IETADA KICHIBEINOJÔ [KAN'EI 1624 KAGA] SHINTÔ JÔSAKU
He lived in Kanazawa, and his family name was Susaki. In the beginning was called Kichibeinojô, and he later assumed the Gô of Shôkon. As for him being called Darani, this was probably a frequently assumed name that was a distinctive feature of this extended family. His blades have a jitetsu of strong ko-mokume with sumi, with the hamon becoming hako midare or saka choji, resembling the works of Kashû Kanewaka. He died in Meireki Gannen (1655). (Wazamono)
