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.
藤安将平刀匠は人間国宝故宮入行平師の門人(で、昭和五十年に福島市立子山に独立、師と同様に相州上工を目標としている。 この短刀は、国宝に指定されている名物会津新藤五國光を範に精鍛された一口。三つ棟の頂の幅が広く両区深く、身幅広く重ねは尋常にて、ごくわずかに内反りが付き、ふくらもたっぷりとした端正な造り込み。地鉄は小杢交じりの小板目肌が深く錬れて詰み、地沸が微塵に付いて淡く沸映りが立ち現れている。
