二十世紀は二度この工芸を殺しかけた。戦時の歪みと、占領下の禁令である。1948年の日刀保設立と1953年の作刀再開が刀を美術として再建し、人間国宝と無鑑査がその頂に立つ。
This sword has been forged by Akamatsu Taro Kanemitsu of Higo-no-kuni (present day Kumamoto Prefecture) at the request of Tozando. This blade pays omage to swords made by famous Minamoto Kiyomaro. The Akamatsu Taro clan is a venerable family of swordsmiths who have been serving the Hitoyoshi clan since the Kamakura period (1185-1333), and have been dedicated to iron since ancient times, producing their own steel by in-house steelmaking, and using advanced forging techniques to create unique Japanese swords. Minamoto Kiyomaro was also a master sword smith of the Shinsinto period, and along with Suishinshi Masahide and Taikei Naotane, is still one of the three most popular master swordsmiths in Edo. Akamatsu Taro Kanemitsu excelled at reproducing the swords of Minamoto Kiyomaro, and the extremely large Kisaski and Gunome-midare Hamon with Choji mixed in, which are characteristic of Kiyomaro, are all seen on this sword. The blade is also wide and has a curvature that is typical of a tachi sword. It is a dynamic and magnificent work that is reminiscent of the swords of the Kamakura period (1185-1333), which Kiyomaro was aiming for at the time. It is truly a gem that deserves to be called a masterpiece of swordsmanship. If you would like to request Kanemitsu to make a special sword just for you, click here .
