The certificate mentions that this blade is named Rai Fu Jin [Thunder and Wind god] and it is said to have been worn by the young Matsudaira Tadamasa (1597-1645) in his first battle at the age of sixteen. He also fought at the siege of Osaka in 16151. He was a grandson of Tokugawa Ieyasu and became Daimyo of Fukui in 1622 with a revenue of 320,000 koku.
