About the Uda School
The Uda School originated in Etchū Province (modern-day Toyama Prefecture) and was active from the late Kamakura to Muromachi periods. Uda smiths were known for their strong, practical swords, often featuring a refined itame-hada (wood-grain steel pattern) and an elegant suguha or midare hamon. Their blades were highly regarded by samurai for their durability and cutting performance.
