The second pair of fuchi-kashira are accompanied by a Ko-shu Tokubetsu Kicho [Sword Fitting Especially Worthy of Preserving] certificate no.8511, issued by the Nihon Bijutsu Token Hozon Kyokai [Society for the Preservation of the Japanese Art Sword] on 29 August 1976.

The third pair: a number of sculptors used this name. The first was the great Hamano Shozui, followed by Kenzui, and Shinzui. There were fourth and fifth generations, but this appears to be the work of the third Shinjin (Otsuryuken), and a classical piece of the tradition.
