徳川の泰平のもと、大小は法度の定める身分の制服となり、需要は城下町、とりわけ江戸に集まった。工芸は二つに分かれる。目利きのための華やかな鑑賞の作と、截断の結果を金象嵌に刻む実証の刀である。
Signature (Mei): 長州住藤原清重 Chōshū jū Fujiwara Kiyoshige - zaimei (signed) Swordsmith: Fujiwara Kiyoshige (Hasegawa Hachizaemon line, Chōshū / Nagato Province) School / Tradition: Chōshū school, descended from the Nioh (二王) lineage Period / Province: Edo Period (Shintō, early Edo per NBTHK) / Nagato Province Certificate: NBTHK Hozon Kanteishō No. 3036993 (Reiwa 7 / 2025) Mounting: Black lacquer koshirae with karakusa iron tsuba and gold-highlighted fittings Blade Length (Nagasa): 68.4 cm (2 shaku 2 sun 6 bu jaku) Curvature (Sori): approx. 1.5 cm - to be confirmed Mekugi-ana: 3 Shape: Shinogi-zukuri with iori-mune and chū-kissaki Jihada: Bright, tightly forged itame Hamon: Suguha-chō with gentle notare, soft nioiguchi with ko-nie Boshi: Ko-maru This Katana is a signed (zaimei) work by Chōshū jū Fujiwara Kiyoshige , a swordsmith of Nagato Province (Chōshū, today's Yamaguchi Prefecture), certified by the NBTHK in a current Hozon appraisal (Reiwa 7 / 2025) and classified as a Shintō work of the early Edo period. The signature runs clearly down the nakago ; the tang carries three mekugi-ana , the record of a long working life and repeated remounting, with the mei preserved throughout. The sugata is a clean shinogi-zukuri with iori-mune and a balanced chū-kissaki , measuring 68.4 cm - the composed, practical proportions of an Edo-period katana made to be worn and used. The blade is healthy and bright in polish. The jihada is a tightly forged itame , bright and well-packed. The hamon is a calm suguha-chō - a straight-based temper with a gentle notare movement - set in a soft nioiguchi with fine ko-nie , running to a tidy ko-maru boshi. This restrained, disciplined suguha is exactly the manner for which the Chōshū Kiyoshige smiths are known: the appeal lies in the clarity of the steel and the evenness of the temper rather than in flamboyant activity. Koshirae Details The blade is housed in a coherent black koshirae . The saya is finished in black lacquer with honest surface te
