NihontoWatch現存少ない聾長綱の魅せる一線を逸脱した裁断銘入のこの上なき最高傑作です。 現存少ない上に裁断銘入りの奇跡のような状況下であり更には豪壮体配、生茎、健全さ全て揃った格上げ必至の名刀です。 刃中は変化に富んで飛び焼きを交え、たっぷりと付いた沸、ほつれ絡んで明るく冴え、砂流し、匂口明るく、映り立ちこれぞ大阪新刀の最高傑作と云える最高の力量と精神を余すところなく見せつける逸品です。 長綱は初代忠綱のの門人で、北村柿右衛門と称し、聴覚障害者であった所から自ら聾長綱と称し、現存する作品は少ない希少名工です。

The Heian period (794 to 1185)
The curved, ridged tachi took its classic form in the Heian provinces while the court refined its culture in the capital. Its patrons were the military nobility whose feuds ended in the Genpei War, and whose blades became heirlooms almost at once.
A Hozon-certified blade judged to show notably superior workmanship and a better state of preservation. The bar is higher: re-tempered blades and most unsigned Muromachi/Edo works are excluded.
The NBTHK (Nihon Bijutsu Tōken Hozon Kyōkai, the Society for the Preservation of Japanese Art Swords) is a public-interest incorporated foundation founded in 1948 and supervised by Japan’s Agency for Cultural Affairs (Bunkachō); it is based at the Japanese Sword Museum in Tokyo. Its expert panels physically examine each submitted work (shinsa) and issue a certificate (kanteishō) ranking it by artistic and historical merit. NBTHK papers are the most widely recognized standard of authentication for Japanese swords and fittings.
