After the Ōnin War broke the Ashikaga order, a century of Sengoku warfare armed nearly every province in Japan. The era rewards a discriminating eye: routine work exists in quantity, and beside it stand custom blades of the first rank.
景介(かげすけ)は来国行の孫延寿国村の流れを汲み、肥後菊池氏が領した玉名荘石貫を拠点とした文明頃の刀工。石貫鍛冶の遺作は極めて少なく、景介の他、応永二十三年八月日紀の短刀(第六十二回重要刀剣)のある石抜是吉、文明、延徳、明応年紀のある石貫昌国らがいる。
