The samurai Omori Hikoshichi lived in the 14th century and served Ashikaga no Takauji. As the story goes, one night during a shadow-casting full moon, Omori met a beautiful young woman in opulent robes who asked to be carried across a stream. When Omori sees the young woman’s reflection in the stream, he realizes that she is a demon in disguise. He then draws his sword and does what he must do.
The Shunsho line of lacquerers started with Jirosaburo Shuboku, the son of Yamamoto Toshimasa, who began producing lacquers as an amateur but turned professional and founded the Shunsho family of lacquer masters. The Shunsho mainline masters mostly signed with the family name followed by seals and kao.
