Antique Japanese Sword Wakizashi Signed by Iga no Kami Fujiwara no Kanemichi with NBTHK Tokubestsu Hozon Certificate 【Description】 This blade was signed by Iga no Kami Fujiwara Kinmichi (伊賀守藤原金道). The swordsmith name Iga no Kami Kinmichi lasted eleven generations during the Edo period and it was forged by the 6th-gen Kinmichi according to NBTHK’s appraisal. His birth name was Kanbei( 勘兵衛). He was born as a son of the 5th-gen Kinmichi in 1763 and he received the high honorable official title “Iga no Kami (伊賀守)” in 1799 from the emperor for his highly skilled craftsmanship. And like his father and ancestors, he belonged to the prestigious school called Mishina school(三品派) and produced many blades in the mid-late Edo period. Kami is an honorable social title given by the imperial court for his excellent craftsmanship. The 6th-gen was allowed to inscribe a chrysanthemum emblem, which is the symbol of the Japanese emperor. His sword forging technique was so great that the emperor permitted him to use this emblem, which was honorable for any swordsmith. A chrysanthemum emblem remains in the tang of this blade. The generations of Kinmichi used Igano Kami title and inscribed this chrysanthemum emblem. The first-gen Iga no Kami Kinmichi was a famous swordsmith as well. It is said that Tokugawa Ieyasu ordered Kimichi school to forge 1,000 Tachi blades for Sekigahara battles, under the condition that the school would become in charge of the swordsmiths residing in Kyoto back then. The first-gen Kinmichi managed to fulfill Ieyasu’s request, and Ieyasu praised him by granting a special position called *Nippon Kaji Soushou (日本鍛冶宗匠). This position was taken over by the generations of Iga no Kami Kinmichi. The 6th-gen is also known to have produced many blades with “雷除(protection against lightning)” engraved on the tang , the inscription of which is based on a story of a blade produced by the 1st-gen : In May 1593, when the Emperor Go-Yosei was out and was in danger of being struck by lightning, an amulet sword produced by the 1st- gen slipped out by itself and cut through the thunder cloud, It is said that the weather cleared up. In accordance with this story, the 1st-gen’ blade, inscribed with “雷除 ” , became popular as a protection against disasters, and the 6th-gen also began to use the same inscription. Mishina School The first-gen Iga no Kami Kinmichi belonged to Mishina school and was the first son of the Mishina school’s founder. Mishina school was established by the first-gen Mutsu no Kami Omichi (陸奥守大道), also known as Kanemichi. It is said that initially, Kanemichi was from Mino province, exclusively forging blades for Shingen Takeda, a famous feudal lord. Later on, he moved to Kyoto, being invited by the emperor. He also brought his four sons and founded Mishina school in Kyoto. Five sons were Iga no Kami Kinmichi(伊賀守金道) 、Izumi no Kami Rai Kinmichi(和泉守来金道), Tanba no Kami Yoshimichi(丹波守吉道) and Echu no kami Masatoshi(越中守正俊). His sons were known as Kyoto Gokaji(京都五鍛冶), prestigious swordsmiths forging in Kyoto in the early Edo period. Mishina school was pros perous throughout the Edo period. The superb craftsmanship of the Mishina school was passed down for generations. It is appraised as a Tokubetsu Hozon Token (特別保存刀剣) issued by NBTHK(Nihon Bijutsu Touken Hozon Kyokai:日本美術刀剣保存協会).

Mishina Kinmichi金道

1 重要美術品4 特別重要刀剣18 重要刀剣

初代伊賀守金道は美濃関の兼道の四子の長兄で、父および和泉守(来)金道・丹波守吉道・越中守正俊の三弟と共に上京し、西洞院夷川に住した。説明書はその働きを「三品派の名を大いに高めた」と記す。彼は京新刀三品派の祖であり、いわゆる京五鍛冶の頭領であって、その磨上の太刀を載せる重要美術品の説明は、本工を「日本鍛冶宗匠として活躍」した日本の名工と称える。二代以下は刀匠の受領を朝廷に推薦する権を世襲し、銘に「日本鍛冶宗匠」と添えた。名は同銘相継いで幕末に及ぶが、説明書は初代を一派中最も優れた手とする。 その作は受領を境に読まれ、この区分が鑑定の背骨をなす。伊賀守受領前、天正頃の作を説明書は本質的な末関とし、「その作域は末関そのもの」と評する。白気風のある鍛えに尖り互の目を焼いたもの、あるいは互の目丁子やのたれ刃を焼き、匂口が締まりごころに小沸つき、いわゆる三品帽子も未だ形成されていない。この前期の在銘には四兄弟の本国の作風に近いものが数口あり、兼定・氏房に見る互の目丁子や、室町期の打刀を彷彿とさせる小のたれに互の目を交えたものがあって、極めは本工を、美濃の継承を最も真面目に伝えた兄と読む。 受領後、作柄は一新し、その典型の記録の大半はここにある。説明書はこれを「作域は一新して志津風」と述べ、本工の最も得意とした手とする。板目に杢を交え棟寄りに強く流れた肌を交えて肌立ち、地沸微塵に厚くつき地景のよく入る地に、小のたれを基調とした大乱れを焼く。大互の目・角がかった刃・尖り刃を交え、沸が強く時に荒く、むら立ち、砂流しさかんに金筋長く入り、湯走り・小さな飛焼を交えて匂口沈みごころとなる。美濃の根に相州・志津の働きを接いだ手であり、剣書は本工を志津・関・大和・相州の各伝に通達した上手と記す。 地鉄は前後両期を貫く常である。棟寄りに流れて流れ肌となり肌立つ板目に、地沸厚く地景頻りに入り、美濃関の継承を京の作にまで伝え、最上手の作では区上より水影が立つ。その上の後期の刃は静かというより落ち着かず、沸がむらに凝って処々崩れ、砂流しはしばしば金筋を伴って縞をなす。帽子は最も明快な見どころで、のたれ・乱れ込みに先尖って掃きかけさかんな三品帽子は、前期には明確に欠け後期に顕現する。志津風の刃では中程に強い沸が凝り、簾刃の萌芽を見せる――この種こそ、後代の三品派を特徴づける見どころである。 本工を分かつのは、まさに極めの言うところである。前期の美濃の過去とは、強い沸・金筋・砂流し、そして前期末関作の欠く簾刃の萌芽と三品帽子によって分かたれる。典型をなす志津風は末弟越中守正俊と共有した得意の作であり、大磨上無銘の志津を写したかと思わせる作もある。銘は「金道作」の三字銘、五字銘、「藤原」を冠した七字銘があって年紀作は稀であり、銘振りもまた作風と共に作を一派に位置づける。彼は三品派が京新刀の大家の一つに育つ根である。 収集の観点では、新刀の礎をなす名である。藤代は初代を上々作とする。国宝はなく重要文化財もなく、その記録は戦前の重要美術品と現代の級を通じ、特別重要刀剣に四口、重要刀剣に十八口を数え、説明書はその最上手を傑作・「初代金道の白眉」とし、覇気に溢れ地刃ともに健体の作と称える。記録に残る伝来は乏しいが確かで、ある特別重要刀剣の刀は谷干城の愛刀のうちにあり、重要美術品の作は佐竹家に伝来した。特別重要刀剣・重要刀剣の級に凡そ二十数口が立ち、そのうち市に出るものは僅かであるから、在銘の初代伊賀守金道が世に現れるのは折々のことで、根気をもって相対し得る一口は、三品派いかに始まったかを語る証である。
