Features: It is said that the name "Jumyo" (寿命, meaning "longevity") was popular because it symbolized long life, making his works often used as gifts for celebratory occasions or given to the elderly. In Mino and Owari provinces, Jumei's swords were highly regarded for this reason. Most of his works are simply signed "Jumyo", but occasionally, as with this piece, he signed with his full title "Tango no Kami Fujiwara Jumyo".
