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.
秀宗刀匠は本名松原龍平氏昭和5年生まれ。13代川島正秀刀匠と中田兼秀刀匠の門。岐阜関住、全日本刀匠会会員新作名刀展にて数々の入選をはたしています。本刀は有名な相州正宗の弟子の相州貞宗の子が後に江州(滋賀県)に移住して高木貞宗と銘を切る名刀を作っています。その高木貞宗末裔の高木政照氏が祖先の高木貞宗を顕彰して秀宗刀匠に製作して頂いた記念の貴重な刀です。本刀の姿は元身幅広く先身幅も広い切っ先の延びた高木貞宗の時代の南北朝期の姿を現し、地金は小板目肌に鍛え、彫は棒樋を掻き流し、刃紋は沸の付いた互の目乱れ刃を焼き刃中金筋を現し素晴らしく覇気有る刃を焼き高木貞宗をここに写して良く出来ています。また本刀を古刀に見せる為に研ぎ師が工夫を重ね古刀に見える様工夫のあとがうかがえ研ぎも興味深いものです。この度世の中に初めて生で出た為に特別に高木貞宗写しの名刀を特別に格安にて御提供いたします。有名な高木貞宗写しの秀宗刀匠の刀を是非お楽しみ下さいませ。
