「特徴 detailed」
大和守安定、生国越前、俗名冨田宗兵衛、最初の師は父で紀州藩工の紀伊國安廣。元和六年、安定5才の時、父安廣共に越前から紀州へ移住、紀州で成人する。父紀伊國安廣は、初代重國死亡後の寛永十三年に、禄高４０石で紀州藩のお抱え藩工と成る。その後、寛永二十七年に安定は大和大掾を受領するが、同じ寛永二十七年に父安廣が藩工をお役御免に成ったため、父と共に江戸に下り、二代康継に師事する。彼の刀は切れ味には定評があり、新選組沖田総司の愛刀としても知られる。また最近は人気アニメ刀剣乱舞でも有名になっています。
本作、磨り揚げられていますが、良く鍛えた地鉄に、凄く働きの有る刃を焼いている優品です。
大和守安定が市場に出回る事が少ないため、この機会をお見逃しなく。
Yamato no Kami Yasusada, born in Echizen and real named Tomita Soeemon, was first trained by his father, Kii no Kuni Yasuhiro, a swordsmith serving the Kishu domain. In 1620, when Yasusada was five years old, he and his father moved from Echizen to Kishu, where Yasusada grew up. His father, Kii no Kuni Yasuhiro, became an official swordsmith for the Kishu domain in 1636 after the death of Nanki Shigekuni, receiving an annual stipend of 40 koku. In 1650, Yasusada was awarded the title of Yamato Daijo. However, later that same year, his father Yasuhiro was dismissed from his post, and they both relocated to Edo (modern-day Tokyo), where Yasusada apprenticed under the second-generation Yasutsugu.
Yasusada’s swords are renowned for their sharpness and durability, with one of his blades famously being the favored sword of Okita Soji, the captain of the Shinsengumi. His works have also gained popularity due to the anime Touken Ranbu.
This particular piece, though shortened (suriage), boasts a well-forged jigane (blade surface) and a beautifully tempered hamon (blade pattern) with intricate activity, making it an exceptional work. Swords by Yamato no Kami Yasuyuki rarely appear on the market, so don’t miss this opportunity to acquire a masterpiece.
