Yukihiro’s first dated work was produced in the sixteenth year of Kanei (1639) when he was 23 years old. He was awarded the title of Dewa-daijo in the fifth year of Shôhô (1648) at the age of 32. In the third year of Kanbun (1663), he was promoted and given the title of Dewa-no-kami .
In the third year of Keian (1650), two years after he became Dewa-daijo, he is said to have moved to Nagasaki to study the Dutch method of forging under Hisatsugu and Yakushiji Tanenaga. He is said to have continued his studies together with his fellow student, Harima-daijô Tadakuni, when he studied the traditions of the Bizen Ichimonji school under the Edo Ishidô smith, Shirobei Noriyoshi. After that time, he started adding the kanji character, Ichi (一), above his mei on many of his swords.
