Edo was the sword’s age of connoisseurship: the Hon’ami appraisers, the shogunal register of famous blades of 1719, and a thriving literature turned the sword into an object of study even as it ceased to be drawn in war.
NihontoWatchNihontoWatch江戸時代後期 備前国。平安時代より続く長船鍛冶の伝統を受け継ぐ横山祐包は備前伝丁子乱刃の名手として幕末の備前鍛冶の掉尾を飾る刀工としてしられている。匂出来で匂口締まった刃文は冷たく澄んだ清流の流れを見るようで、一瞬、刀が武器であるということを忘れる心持がする。
