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.
将平刀匠は藤安正博と称し、人間国宝宮入行平師の直門。昭和五十年に独立し、福島市内の立子山に鍛刀場を設けた。相州上工の作を範に作刀に励み、平成二年の新作名刀展に爪付素剣と梵字の彫刻のある相州伝の平造脇差を出品して保存協会会長賞に輝く。その後、個展やグループ展での作品発表、伊勢神宮式年遷宮の御神刀の製作、熱田神宮での奉納鍛錬、隕鉄刀の製作など幅広く研鑽努力し、現代刀界に大きな足跡を記している。
