In the lists

In the 『懐宝剣尺』 (Kaihō Kenjaku), the Yamada cutting list of 1797, the English Wikipedia places him among the 業物 (wazamono), the fourth of its four grades, as Motoyuki of Osaka.

According to the Japan Search engine, his name also appears in the 『重要刀剣等図譜』 (Jūyō tōken tō zufu) of the tenth designation of the NBTHK, of 1963, and in the 『黎明会名刀図録』 (Reimeikai meitō zuroku), of 1960; we have not consulted them.
