《ある年、或る人が語って云うには、加州大守に千代鶴の太刀があり、長さ三尺三寸である。これを世の通りの尺に改めて何かの用とて、神田の兼常という鍛冶に命じられるということであった。兼常はその日の朝早く起きて門外に立ち出ると、女性一人が立っており、上に金襴の衣を着ていた。兼常に向かって言うには、「あな畏し、この太刀を改めることなかれ、重ねて重ねてこのことを頼む」旨を言う。兼常が云うには「太刀刀を改めることは常々多くあること、何を証拠にしてその方の言う刀を知ろうや」と。女性が言うには「さらばこれを証拠にし給え」とて刀の白木の柄を渡し、重ねて重ねて頼むと言って帰って行った。怪しと思う所に昼の頃、加州大守より召され、則ち参ると、太刀の寸を上げることを命じられ、取り出して兼常に渡されるのを見れば、刀を入れた袋の金襴が正しく女性の上に着した衣の紋と同じであった。怪しと思い家に持ち帰り、かの柄を合わせ見れば正に一具である。驚いて検使に来りし侍にその事を語りて堅く辞退せしかば、大守もこれを聞き給い、この事を止め給うとのこと。名作は銘を惜むということ、まことにそうであると云々}}

Accordingly, he was to take over Tsuyama Castle in Sakushū Province, but since Lord Mizuno Mimasaku-no-kami was in his domain, the appointment was made through an official letter. However, as he fell ill, Lord Sakai Yukie-no-suke was appointed as his substitute.

Genroku 11 (1698), Year of the Tiger: The monk Nichitai of Myōei-ji temple in Fukagawa (affiliated with Kominato Tanjō-ji) and the nun Myōgetsu conspired to promote confusing practices in their religious sect. Following an investigation, they were imprisoned, but during a fire they were transferred to a prison in Fukagawa. However, they escaped and their whereabouts became unknown. After searching the provinces using wanted posters, they were captured and punished. At this time, Hokke-ji in Yotsuya and Kan'ō-ji in Yanaka were sent to prison, and after investigation, were sentenced to being stripped naked and hanged. <<Mitai>> Dainen-ji, Kyōmyō-ji, Chūdō-ji, and <<Yotsuya>> Jakkō-ji were exiled to distant islands. The aforementioned nun Myōgetsu was the daughter of a retainer of Lord Hachisuka Hida-no-kami, and her brother, who was in that household, was also punished. At Kan'ō-ji, Myōgetsu was stripped of her colored robes and expelled from the Nichiren sect.

<<In a certain year, someone told this story: The great lord of Kaga Province possessed a sword called Chiyotsuru, three shaku and three sun in length. To convert it to the standard measurement and for some purpose, he was going to command the swordsmith Kanetsune of Kanda. On the morning of that day, Kanetsune rose early and went outside his gate, where a woman stood wearing golden brocade robes. She said to Kanetsune: "I beseech you, do not alter this sword. I earnestly request this of you." Kanetsune replied: "I frequently alter swords and blades. What proof do you offer that I should recognize the sword you speak of?" The woman said: "Then take this as proof" and handed him a plain wooden sword handle, repeatedly asking this favor before departing. Thinking this strange, around noon he was summoned by the great lord of Kaga. When he went and was commanded to resize the sword, he was shown the blade to be given to Kanetsune. The golden brocade of the sword bag bore exactly the same crest as the robes worn by the woman. Finding this mysterious, he took it home and compared it with the handle - they were indeed a perfect match. Astonished, he told this story to the samurai inspector who had come, firmly declining the work. When the great lord heard of this, he too abandoned the plan. Truly, masterwork swords cherish their inscriptions, and this is indeed so.>>
