Historical context

The Edo period (1615 to 1868)

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.

The Edo period (1615 to 1868)
