Shinkokuha prospered greatly until the early Muromachi period.

The inscription on this sword states that the Sengoku feudal lord Hidetsuna Anekouji suriaged Nobukuni's Tachi at his residence, Matsukura Castle, in the 13th year of Tensho. Although Hidetsuna was destroyed by Hideyoshi's side in the same year, he showed the faith of Hakusan Gongen and the sharpness of his two-dou (two-double sword), and we can feel his readiness to improve his Nobukuni skills and confront the enemy.The Anekoji clan was a famous family that served as the provincial governor of Hida, and Hidetsuna's grandfather, Yoshiyori Miki, took over the name and subjugated Hida Province under his son Yoritsuna, but that dream disappeared under Hidetsuna.
