Perry’s arrival in 1853 unraveled the Tokugawa peace and created the first mass demand for working swords in two centuries. Kiyomaro, called the Masamune of Yotsuya, died on its eve; Munetsugu and Yukihide carried the boom to the end.
NihontoWatchNihontoWatch■ 千年の作刀史を伝える備前刀 その掉尾を飾る祐廣の刀です。 伸びやかで元先の身幅差と平肉の薄い姿。無地風の中に微細に肌立った鍛。そして備前刀の証 華やかな重花丁子刃文が見所です。さらに長寸の生ぶ茎は銀光を放っており、掌に鏨枕を感じます。 ■ 祐廣は名工祐包の子、或いは弟子と伝え、明治5年編纂 長船打剱類元帳 にもその名前が見えます。また東京国立博物館にも作品が収蔵されており、加えて本刀は昭和26年登録、いわゆる大名登録となっています。 ■ ハバキ元の生ぶ刃、凛と立った松葉角を見ても、本刀の健全さがお分かりになる事でしょう。 古研のため、地に浅い引け傷や変色が見られますが、この状態で充分に鑑賞することが出来ます。 備前刀の歴史を締めくくる横山祐廣御刀。 新々刀の気風と、備前刀の歴史を感じる優品です。
