NihontoWatchNihontoWatch本作は無銘ながら加州清光に極められている刀である。 加賀の国の清光は名鑑によると明応から安政頃まで同銘が数人存在するが、本作はその作風から江戸中期頃の作と伺うことが出来る。刃文、細直刃、地鉄板目流れて柾がかり、地景よく入る。2尺4寸4分と長寸、棒樋を掻き流し重量が程よく調整され、身幅、反りともに尋常、時代拵が付随しており、高級居合刀としてお勧めしたい一刀。古研ぎのため地刃に薄く錆が散見されるため定価を下げてご提供しています。

The Edo period (1615 to 1868)
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.
Certifies a genuine blade worth preserving: a signature confirmed correct, or, if unsigned, an era, province, and school that the NBTHK can reliably identify.
The NBTHK (Nihon Bijutsu Tōken Hozon Kyōkai, the Society for the Preservation of Japanese Art Swords) is a public-interest incorporated foundation founded in 1948 and supervised by Japan’s Agency for Cultural Affairs (Bunkachō); it is based at the Japanese Sword Museum in Tokyo. Its expert panels physically examine each submitted work (shinsa) and issue a certificate (kanteishō) ranking it by artistic and historical merit. NBTHK papers are the most widely recognized standard of authentication for Japanese swords and fittings.
