Aoi Art’s Comment: Known as Kondo Goro, he resided in Todamachi, Owari province.
The sword is in good condition with a few remaining initial cuts, indicating its robustness.
It is said that Jumei made many swords because "Jumei" signifies longevity, making it a popular gift item. Considering the average lifespan of about 40 years in Japan at the time, the idea of extended life must have been greatly appreciated. This is a solid and well-made piece with a thick and sturdy nakago, highly recommended.
