	Shibata Katsuie
		Following the defeat of both Asai Nagamasa and Asakura Yoshikage in 1573, Shibata was given the latter's province of Echizen and took up residence at Kita-no-sho castle.
		Theoretically part of Shibata's fief since 1573, Kaga was in fact under the sway of the Ikko-ikki, and required strenuous effort to be brought to bear, particularly since after 1577 the Uesugi of Echigo were openly hostile to the Oda.
		It is of some note and rather interesting that Shibata was never transferred from Echizen after 1573, the only major Oda retainer not to be shuffled around from province to province.

	UK Sword Register, No. 32
		He returned briefly to Shinano but, when Matsudaira moved to Fukui in Echizen province, Kunikiyo accompanied him and from this time onwards his swords became broader in construction.
		This sword is considered to have been made whilst Kunikiyo was in Echizen as the dark Jigane is one of the characteristics of swords from northern Japan.
		It seems probable that whilst in Echizen, Kunikiyo had contact with Yasutsugu and this influence may have led to him experimenting with Nambam-tetsu (foreign steel) as in the present example, which was something of a fashion around this time.
