説明

伯耆守信高と極められた薙刀。戦時の備えとされたものであろう、寸法長く身幅広く、殊に物打辺りが強く張って鋒鋭利な、豪壮な姿格好。相手の刀を受け止める目的から腰元から茎にかけて肉厚に仕立て、腰樋の上から棟を削ぎ落して軽量化を図ると共に切り込んだ刃の抜けを良くした実戦武具らしい構造。鎬を高く張らせているのも相手の攻撃を受け止めるためで、一方、物打辺りの刃先を鋭く仕立てて截断能力を一段と高めている。加え、平肉の減りがなく、刃区も深く残されて健全体を保っている。地鉄鍛えは、鎬地が良く詰んだ柾目肌で、平地はさらに詰んだ小板目肌が緩みなく、細やかな地沸で全面が覆われ、武器と思えぬ美しさ。刃文は直焼出しから始まり、尖りごころの互の目が連続し、物打辺りが地に突き入るように焼深く、帽子は浅く乱れて先端に宝珠状の飛焼を配して返り、長い棟焼に連なる。この深い棟焼も攻撃からの守りを意図したもの。沸匂の複合になる明るい焼刃は、叢沸なく刃中には淡い足が射し、物打辺りに葉が舞う。 初代信高は美濃の三阿弥派兼則の流れを汲み、慶長頃に尾張名古屋に移住しており、天正から寛永七年頃までの年紀作を遺している。

Sanami Nobutaka信高

3 重要刀剣

The first-generation Hoki no Kami Fujiwara Nobutaka was born in Eiroku 6 (1563) at Kami-Aruchi in Mino Province. Traditionally said to descend from the San'ami Kanekuni lineage, he received the court title of Hoki no Kami in Tensho 9 (1581) at the age of nineteen. He subsequently moved to Kiyosu in Owari Province and, in Keicho 15 (1610), accompanied Tokugawa Yoshinao to Nagoya, where he became one of the founding figures of the Owari shinto tradition. In Kan'ei 10 (1633) he retired under the Buddhist name Keiyu, dying three years later at seventy-six. His personal name was Kawamura Saemon, and the majority of his extant works are *shinogi-zukuri* katana and wakizashi, with *hira-zukuri* tanto and polearms comparatively few. Nobutaka's forge work reveals the Mino tradition of his origin: *itame-hada* mixed with *nagare-hada*, tending toward *hada-dachi*, with thick *ji-nie* and *chikei*. His tempering ranges from tightly controlled *notare* with clear *nioiguchi* to bold, spirited compositions in which *gunome-midare*, *tobiyaki*, and *yubashiri* span into the *shinogi-ji*, developing into *hitatsura*-like all-over hardening. The *nie* is deep and sometimes coarsely formed, yielding *nie-kuzure* at the *yakigashira* and *hotsure* along the *habuchi*, punctuated by frequent *kinsuji* and *sunagashi*. His *boshi* tends to be deeply tempered with long *kaeri*, at times assuming an *ichimai*-like boldness. Among the designated pieces, the Tensho 9 katana is celebrated as an *utsushi* after the renowned Inabae, executed with natural assurance immediately upon receiving his court title. His imposing *o-kissaki* katana display the wide-bodied proportions characteristic of the Momoyama period, while even his yari of extraordinary length show no breakdown in execution, demonstrating technical mastery across blade forms.
