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.
肥前国保則刀匠の本名は元村保廣、佐賀県住。昭和24年生まれ。保則、肥前国保則と銘を切ります。昭和44年12月に作刀認可を得て以来、新作名刀展で連続入選を果し、他の入賞暦も多数。系列は八代肥前国忠吉を祖とし、初代武藤信濃守久廣、二代武藤久廣、初代元村兼元(父)、そして本人、元村保廣(肥前国保則)というものです。切れ味優れると評判高い由緒正しき刀匠となります。剣士の間で高い人気を誇っており、本刀も手にしてその人気を納得できる御刀です。
