介绍（中）	乌达国弥住在大和（今奈良县）的乌达，后来搬到了Ecchú（今富山县）。据记载，他在14世纪初至中期工作。从14世纪初到15世纪中期，从镰仓时代晚期到室町时代中期，共有三代剑士活跃。乌达库尼米苏是该家族的第一代剑术家，也是乌达学派的创始人。虽然有少量幸存的剑由乌达Kunimitsu签名，但直到1998年对这把tantō的铭文进行认证之前，还没有已知的他签名和注明日期的作品。因此，这个tantō为整个乌达学派的研究提供了重要的基础 tantō的形状有一个非常轻微的弯曲，其比例比14世纪初典型的tantß更宽、更大，但在本世纪后期变得更常见。这种刀片的表面纹理结合了木纹和直纹的外观。边缘用一条由双线包围的狭窄直线进行回火，这些特征显示了大和剑术流派的影响 19世纪为这个tantō制作的无符号底座精致优雅。罗纹剑鞘上覆盖着黑色漆鲨鱼皮。剑柄和剑鞘上的金属配件都是银色的，雕刻精美，波浪翻滚。这些是由镀金铜制成的menuki（握饰）和镶有金的shakudōtsuba。
介绍（英）	Uda Kunimitsu lived in Uda in Yamato (present-day Nara Prefecture) and later moved to Ecchū (present-day Toyama Prefecture). He is recorded as working in the early to mid-fourteenth century. There were three generations of Kunimitsu swordsmiths who were active from the early fourteenth to the mid-fifteenth century, spanning the late Kamakura period to the mid-Muromachi period. Uda Kunimitsu was the first-generation swordsmith of the family and founder of the Uda School. Although there are a small number of surviving swords signed by Uda Kunimitsu, until the authentication of the inscription on this tantō in 1998 there were no known works by him that were both signed and dated. This tantō, therefore, provides an important foundation for the study of the entire Uda School. The shape of the tantō has a very slight curvature, with proportions that are wider and somewhat larger than a typical tantō of the early fourteenth century, but which became more common later in the century. The surface texture of this blade combines the appearance of a wood grain with a straight grain. The edge is tempered with a narrow straight line bordered by a double line, characteristics that show the influence of the Yamato School of swordsmiths. The unsigned mountings, which were made for this tantō in the nineteenth century, are subtle and elegant. The ribbed scabbard is covered in black lacquered shark skin. The metal fittings on the hilt and the scabbard are made of silver and are beautifully chiseled with billowing waves. These are completed by the menuki (grip ornaments), which are gilt copper, and the tsuba (sword guard), which is shakudō (a copper and gold alloy patinated bluish black) inlaid with gold.
