		However, the Matsudaira were still non-players in the national struggle, and they existed within a regional power structure aligned to the Imagawa house, whose heads were military governors of Suruga province, and sometimes of Totomi and Mikawa provinces as well.

		He is known to have made blades of the large proportions as may be seen in this example and was a representative swordsmith of the Shimada school from Suruga province.
		In spite of this, it seems that few very fine swords were made by the Shimada group although though they were regular suppliers to the redoubtable Takeda clan from neighbouring Kai province.
		There certainly seems to have been a close association between the Shimada group and the Odawara Soshu (representatives smiths of Soshu-den at the end of the Muromachi period) from neighbouring Sagami province.

		Raised in the service of a feudal lord in Suruga Province, Socho subsequently became the devoted student of the renga master Sogi and the iconoclastic Zen monk Ikkyu, a variety of influences clearly visible in his journal.
		Socho lived in an era in which established values and hierarchies were being questioned, and his journal reflects his own testing of traditional literary boundaries.
