Contesto storico
Il maestro spadaio Bitchū-no-Kuni Heianjō Gen Sukemitsu nacque con il nome Yoshijiakeshi Takeshita nel 1915 (Taishō 4). Studiò dapprima sotto lo spadaio Masatsugu Okishiba a Osaka, poi sotto suo padre, Eitarō Sukemitsu. Prima della guerra fu selezionato come spadaio ufficiale dell'Esercito, e successivamente vinse numerosi premi alla Mostra della Nuova Spada Celebre, guadagnandosi una reputazione come maestro artigiano.
Lo spadaio Mitsukane, il cui vero nome è Isao Kaneda di Kurashiki-Tamashima, è membro di lunga data dell'Associazione Spadai del Giappone ed è stato selezionato per molti onori.
