NihontoWatchNihontoWatch鉄地竪丸形 鋤出彫 金象嵌 打ち返し耳 町彫の大家、浜野派の創始者で名工として名高い浜野政隋の鍔です。 政隋は元禄九年（1696）生まれ、長じて奈良派の名工奈良利寿の門人となり、その後独立、兼隋、知隋等多くの門人を養成し、一門は幕末まで繁栄を続けています。 政隋は、高肉彫、薄肉彫、肉合彫から片切彫まであらゆる工法を熟し、広汎にわたる図柄を試み、それぞれに見事な作品を残しています。 老年になっても精巧な眼鏡を用い、決して門人に任せず細工を続けたと伝え、政隋の作品には駄作がなかったと言われています。また、金工の中では稀に見る漢学者であったといい、乙柳軒、味墨、半圭子等多くの号を持ち、それぞれの画題に合わせた号を用いているように思えます。 この鍔は、政隋の得意した特徴ある松を鋤出した作、中央には霞になぞらえて金の布目象嵌を散らし、裏は反対に松の幹の部分を彫り、中々粋に仕上げています。 この鍔は、特有の松の彫技を見せる、政隋晩年の数少ない名品の一つ、昭和鍔研究界の大家、笹野大行先生の遺愛の一つと伝えています。 落とし桐箱入り

The Hamano school of machibori carving was established in mid-Edo Edo by Hamano Masazui (浜野政隨), commonly known as Tarōbei, an exceptionally gifted pupil of Nara Toshihisa. As the Edo Kinkō Meifu states of him that he "thunders through the world," Masazui won widespread renown as one of the "Four Guardian Kings of Nara" (Nara Shitennō). Training many disciples and employing numerous art names—including Otsuryūken, Aji-zumi, Kankei, Rifūdō, Yūkotei, Shūhōsai, Hankei-shi, and Isshunan—he formed what came to be known as the Hamano school, establishing one of the principal lineages of machibori artistry and founding an independent house. " Works are rendered by means of yōbori (sculptural carving) upon varied grounds—gold-and-silver imo-tsugi-ji, solid gold (kinmuku)—with details frequently treated in the in'yō-kon mode, suggesting the early Gotō masters as models.
The carving is executed with "ample, well-judged volume (nikudori)" and "exceptionally full, weighty presence," while applied metal (okigane) in silver and shakudō with shakudō iroe tightens pictorial fields and imparts additional movement. Later Hamano artists such as Katsurano Akafumi maintained this technical versatility, favoring polychrome inlay applied to high-relief compositions. " The NBTHK repeatedly notes that works "clearly demonstrate the high level of technique," "amply demonstrate advanced technical mastery," and possess "a composed dignity"—attestations to the school's sustained excellence across generations and its enduring place within the broader machibori tradition.
