Edo was the sword’s age of connoisseurship: the Hon’ami appraisers, the shogunal register of famous blades of 1719, and a thriving literature turned the sword into an object of study even as it ceased to be drawn in war.
NihontoWatchNihontoWatch網代で鞘を包み込んだ短刀拵が侘茶の意識に通じ、今に遺されているように、装飾素材として好まれている。この拵も、時を重ねて飴色を帯びた細竹のしっとりとした光沢が、茶事という極上の時間と空間に美を添えたことであろうことは疑いなく、所持者の優れた感性を窺わせている。
