Masamune Okazaki (正宗), also known as Goro Nyudo Masamune, is widely recognized as Japan’s greatest swordsmith.
As no exact dates are known for Masamune’s life, he has reached an almost legendary status. However it is generally agreed that he made most of his swords in the early-to-mid 1300s, 1288 – 1328. He created swords, known as katana in Japanese and daggers called tantō, in the Soshu tradition.
He is believed to have lived and worked in the Sagami Province. An award for swordsmiths exists called the Masamune prize which is awarded at the Japanese Sword Making Competition. Although not awarded every year it is presented to a swordsmith who has created an exceptional work.
