Antique Japanese Sword Wakizashi Signed by Yasushige with NBTHK Tokubetsu Hozon Certificate 【Description】 This blade was forged by Bushu Jyu Yasushige(武州住康重). Bushu is the name of the province in the Tokyo area today where he created this blade. Based on how he signed the blade, we believe it was forged by the first-gen Yasushige, active in sword forging during the Tenbun era(1532-1555: Late Muromachi period) . Yasushige belonged to the Bushu Shitahara school, located in today’s Tokyo(Hachioji city). It is said that Yamamoto Norishige founded the school, and it thrived from the end of the Muromachi period to the late Edo period. Shitahara Kaji is the group of swordsmiths under the Hojo clan’s auspicious, powerful feudal line during the late Muromachi period. After the Toyotomi clan destroyed the Hojo clan in the Azuchi Momoyama period, Shitahara started to serve the Tokugawa clan as Okakae Kaji, swordsmiths exclusively working for a specific feudal family. Most of the Shitahara swordsmith’s real sir name was Yamamoto. They especially flourished during the late Muromachi period-early Edo period. They kept forging for the Tokugawa clan until the end of the Edo period. Among the Bushu Shitahara group, Yasushige was one of the most famous ones. The maker’s name, Yasushige, lasted for several generations. This blade has a Tokubetsu Hozon certificate issued by NBTHK. This authentication paper was only given to Japanese swords, especially worth preserving by Nihon Bijutsu Touken Hozon Kyokai(the Society for the Preservation of the Japan Art Sword). 【 Blade】 Cutting Edge Length(Nagasa) : 37.6 cm ( 14.8 inches) Curvature(Sori) : 1.0 cm(0.39 inches) Hamon: The crystalline structure which forms along the cutting edge of a blade as a result of the hardening process Jimon(Jihada): visible steel surface pattern created by folding and hammering during forging process Nakago : Nakago is the tang of the Japanese sword. Japanese swordsmiths left the black rust on the tang on purpose to prevent red rust while the tang is in its handle. And the discoloration of the tang was created over time, which is a great indicator for a Japanese sword specialist to estimate when the sword was forged. Koshirae: Koshirae is the mounting of the Japanese sword. There are several parts that consist of Koshirae such as Saya(Sabbard), Tsuka( Handle), Tsuba(Handguard). Fuchi-Kashira : A pair of matching sword fittings that cover the upper and bottom parts of its sword hilt. The Kara-Jishi (唐獅子) is the motif of this Fuchi Kashira. Shishi (獅子) means a lion in Japanese, and Kara-Jishi is a lion brought from the Continent to Japan in the Toh period (唐, Tang dynasty, 618-907). The Kara-Jishi typically has curly hair for its head, neck, body, and the tale. Same as the established theory, Kara-Jishis designed for this work also have characteristic curly hair on their bodies. Each lion has a stern gaze at the other; it makes us feel a tense atmosphere. In Buddhism, Kara-Jishi is regarded as a symbol of wisdom, and Monju Bosatu (文殊菩薩, Manjushri Bodhisattva) rides lions. According to a theory, Kara-Jishi originates from Komainu (狛犬, stone guardian dogs that exorcize evil spirits). Tsuka and Menuki : Tsuka is the handle of the Japanese sword and Menuki is its decoration. Small dogs are designed for this Menuki. Dogs have been familiar with our daily life since ancient times. In the past, there were only middle-sized dogs in Japan, which means no small dogs existed. However, in 732, a little dog was presented as a gift from the Continent to Japan. It is said the then emperor loved it very much. After this dog passed away, the emperor ordered to make an ornament of it, and this display object became the talisman against evils. Later, it combined with the lion’s image. Have you ever seen Komainu? Komainu is a statue that is usually placed in shrines. They look like a mixture of dogs and lions. As mentioned above, the motif of this sword’s Fuchi Kashira is Kara-Jishi, which is con

下原派は武蔵国八王子の地に拠った刀工の一群で、室町末期に興り、以後江戸末期に至るまで作刀を続けた。古刀期の武蔵国を代表する鍛冶とされ、説示では周重・康重・照重・広重の四工を著名な工として挙げる。なかでも照重は康重・広重と並んで一派を代表する存在で、山本源二郎照重、山本与五郎康重のように山本姓を称した工も知られる。照重については銘鑑が初代を享禄、二代を永禄、三代を天正に充てており、永禄から天正の頃の作がもっとも時代の上がるものと鑑せられている。甲州の注文に応じて鍛えた薙刀も伝わり、地方を越えて求められた様子がうかがえる。 作風は末相州および村正一派の風に末関風を加味したものと説かれる。鍛えは板目に杢がしきりに交じって肌立ち、刃寄りが流れて綾杉風となり、渦を巻いたような肌があらわれる点に地がねの特色がある。刃文は湾れを基調に互の目が二つ三つ連れて尖り刃を交え、やや規則的に乱れて小沸がつき、砂流しのかかるものもある。帽子は乱れ込んで丸く返るものや先の尖って返るものがみられる。細かに肌立った杢目の地がねと、規則的に連れる互の目乱れにのたれを交えた刃文の組み合わせが、この一派を見分ける手がかりとなる。 鑑定にあたっては、肌立った地がねに綾杉風の流れと渦巻く肌があらわれること、互の目が規則的に連れて乱れる刃文の調子を要点とする。彫物では表に棒樋を掻き、倶利迦羅竜や不動、梵字を添えるものが多く、倶利迦羅竜の尾の巻き方に一派らしさが出るとされる。茎は栗尻に切鑢を施し、棟寄りに長銘を切るものが多い。室町末期の打刀や薙刀を代表する優品が重要刀剣に列せられており、照重の薙刀は両刃造という珍しい形状を伝える。武蔵国の在地鍛冶として実用に応えつつ、相州と関の風を併せ呑んだ独自の地刃を築いた点に、下原一派の位置づけがある。 詳しく見る →
