The first generation of the Nishigaki school was Kanshiro Yoshihiro. Born in Nakatsu, Buzen in the 18th year of Keicho. He trained as a disciple of Hikozo Hirata, was granted a license to inherit the same school of silver work, and became the Hosokawa family's maid after becoming independent. Compared to Hayashiha, his early style has an unbalanced sense of distorted brim, and this adds Kanshiro's unique elegance to his work. Some of the round tsuba are made in the shape of a cloth bag, and the lower part of the tsuba seems to protrude.
