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.
菅原包則は天保元年伯耆国の生まれ。嘉永四年に備前国の祐包に入門し、安政五年に独立して因州池田家に仕えた。文久三年には京都の三条堀川に移り、慶応二年に有栖川宮熾仁親王の知遇を得、その推挙で孝明天皇の御剣を鍛え、能登守を受領した。また、戊辰戦争で東征軍総裁となった有栖川宮に従軍して近江陣中で鍛刀しており、同宮の信頼の程を窺わせている。
