NihontoWatch月山貞勝は明治二年大坂鎗屋町の生まれ。名人の誉高く帝室技芸員を勤めた父雲龍子貞一の優技を受け継ぎ、代作を勤めた。仕事への姿勢は篤実厳格を極め、皇族の守護刀、伊勢神宮や明治神宮での宝剣鍛造の際は、鍛刀場を竹矢来で囲み幔幕を張り、玉砂利を敷いて清め、神仏に祈念したという。

Shōwa to the present: destruction and revival
The twentieth century nearly killed the craft twice: wartime distortion, then the occupation ban. The NBTHK’s founding in 1948 and licensed forging from 1953 rebuilt the sword as an art, crowned by Living National Treasures and the mukansa rank.
