Kousetsu's first owner, Itabeoka Kousetsusai, was a pacifist and a devout Buddhist, which explains his garb and his disdain towards fighting.
Itabeoka Kousetsusai was a retainer of Houjou Ujimasa and then of Toyotomi Hideyoshi after the former's defeat at the Siege of Odawara. Kousetsu was presented to Toyotomi as a gift, and then, after Toyotomi's death, went on to serve Tokugawa Ieyasu.
The sword that Tokugawa Yorinobu carried with him during the Siege of Osaka is Kousetsu.
Later, Kousetsu was presented to the Kishuu branch of the Tokugawa family.
Designated as a National Treasure at 1932, and redesignated as part of the new National Treasures at 1951.
