- 説明Drscription
- 筑前国左文字は、大左と通称され、実阿の子と伝え、銘文の左は、左衛門三郎の略という。相州正宗十哲の一人に数えられ、それまでの古典的な九州物の作域から大いに脱皮し、地刃共に明るく冴え、地景や金筋の目立つ新作風を確立した。現存する在銘の太刀は、国宝の「江雪左文字」のみであるが、短刀の作例は比較的多く残されている。左一門は、南北朝期に大いに栄えたが、大左の子と伝える貞吉・安吉を始め弘行・国弘などがいて、これら左一門を末左と呼称する。貞吉は、大左の子で、南北朝時代文和元年の年紀作がある。この刀は、体配から元は三尺程の大太刀であったと思われ、身幅広く、鋒延びる南北朝の姿で、地景を細かに織り成して黒く冴えた鍛に、直刃を基調にのたれごころをおび、小互の目や丁子等が交じり、ほつれかかり、湯走り・飛び焼き・二十刃頻りに掛り、足よく入り、沸深くつき、金筋・沸筋・砂流しかかるなど、左の特色を窺わせる作域を表しており、元のほうが直刃基調の穏やかな出来から貞吉に極められたものと思われるが、頗る健全で覇気溢れ、風格ある左の名品である。Chikuzennokuni Samonji is commonly known as Ohsa and is said to be a child of Jitsua, and the inscription Sa is an abbreviation for Saemon saburou. He was one of Sousyu Masamunejittetsu, and he was a big break from the classic Kyusyu production area, and he was bright and clear with Jiba, establishing a prominent new style of Chikei and Kinsuji. The only existing Tachi in existence is the national treasure "Kousestsu Samonji", but there are relatively many examples of Tantou.
The Sa clan flourished during the period of the Northern and Southern Courts, and included Sadayoshi and Yasukichi, who are said to be children of Ohsa, as well as Hiroyuki and Kunihiro, and these Sa clan are called Suesa.
Sadakichi was the son of Ohsa, and there is a historical work written in the 1st year of Bunna during the Nanbokucho period.
Judging from the shape of this sword, it is believe that is was originally Ohdachi of about 61.6cm, wide Mihaba, In the form of Nanbokucho that extends Kissaki, Chikei is woven finely into a black and clear Kitae. Based on Suguha, with Notare-gokoro, Mixed small-genome and Chouji, Hotsurekakari, Yubashiri, Tobiyaki, Nijuba-shikirinikakari, There are many Ashi, Deep Nie entered, Kinsuji, Niesuji and Sunagashi-kakaru, It represents a production area that shows the characteristics of Sa. The original one seems to have been perfected by Sadayoshi due to its gentle Suguha-based tone. It is a masterpiece of Sa, which is extremely Kenzen, full of ambition, and dignified.
