NihontoWatchHozon token Shimizu Jinnoshin Nobutaka with Uchikatana Koshirae. 伯耆守藤原信高の子孫、八代信高の脇差です。 杢目が良く詰んだ地鉄に、井上真真の様な刃を焼いた素晴らしい作品です。 刀身のコンディション良く、拵も品よく纏められています。 This is a wakizashi by the 8th-generation Nobutaka, a descendant of Hōki no Kami Fujiwara Nobutaka. It features a beautifully forged mokume-hada (wood-grain steel) and an exceptional hamon reminiscent of the style of Inoue Shinkai. The blade is in excellent condition, and the koshirae is tastefully assembled. 「体配 style」 鎬造り庵棟、身幅重尋常、鳥居反り中鋒。茎は生で化粧鑢がかかり、茎尻は刃上がりの栗尻。 「地鉄 jigane」 地鉄は杢目肌が良く詰み、地沸付く。 「刃紋 hamon」 刃紋は沸出来の互の目が湾れる、刃縁微塵に沸が付き砂流しかかる。釯子は刃紋成りに入り小丸に返る。 「特徴 detailed」 清水甚之進信高、江戸時代寛政頃の尾張名古屋の鍛冶、師は六代信高、初銘は甚六郎信直、後に八代信高を襲名する。 初代は慶長頃の伯耆守藤原信高です。 本作、杢目が良く詰んだ地鉄に、井上真真の様な刃を焼いた素晴らしい脇差です。 Shimizu Jinnoshin Nobutaka was a swordsmith from Owari–Nagoya during the Kansei era (late 18th century), initially named Jinnokurō Nobunao and later succeeding as the eighth-generation Nobutaka, following his master, the sixth-generation Nobutaka. His lineage traces back to the first-generation Fujiwara Nobutaka of Hōki no Kami in the Keichō era (early 17th century). This wakizashi features beautifully compact mokume-hada (wood-grain steel) and a hamon reminiscent of the Inoue Shinshin style—truly an outstanding piece. The blade is in excellent condition, and the koshirae is tastefully composed. 「拵 Koshirae」 ハバキ(habaki) :素銅地金着二重。 鍔(tsuba) :鉄地丸形苫屋の図。 縁頭(fhchikashira):縁は赤銅地菊花金象嵌、頭は赤銅魚子地菊の図。 目貫(menuki) :赤銅地兜の図。 柄(tsuka) :鮫は親粒が付き巻鮫、柄巻は正絹紺色の諸捻り巻。 鞘(saya) :黒色の笛巻塗。 「刀剣の状態 condition of blade」 研:良好です。 傷:欠点に成るような傷は有りません。

The Shinshintō revival
Around 1800 Suishinshi Masahide argued in his writings that the craft must return to the old masters’ methods: the fukkotō revival. His greatest successor Naotane worked convincingly in Bizen and Sōshū manners that had been dead for centuries.
