description: "Hikoshirō Sadamune also called Sōshū Sadamune was a swordsmith of the Sōshū school, originally from Gōshū whose works are considered some of the finest blades ever created. His works are often compared with those of the other great Koto era (987-1596) swordsmiths including Sōshū Masamune, Toshiro Yoshimitsu, Go Yoshihiro, Bizen Nagamitsu, and Ise Muramasa. He was a son by blood or adoption of Sōshū Masamune considered by many to be the most famous of the Sōshū masters."
