The Ishido history is complex but in the Edo period leading up to the Meiji restoration the blacksmiths using the professional name of Ishido were sword makers. Beginning with the Meiji they turned to the production of kanna blades and various edged tools. The head of the clan at that time of the restoration was the sword blacksmith know as Ishido Unjusai Korekazu. Ishido Unjusai Korekazu was indeed an actual sword smith, and it is documented that he was the 7th generation to make swords.
