説明Drscription
兼元は、美濃三阿弥系の鍛冶で、古来名高いのは室町中期大永(1521年〜)頃の二代兼元(通称孫六)で、末古刀の最上作として二代兼定と共に末関を牽引し、また、最上大業物としても知られるように切れ味に優れ、古来より武人に愛された。二代兼元以降代々孫六を通称としているが、「関の孫六三本杉」といわれるように兼元の代表的な刃文が三本杉乱れで、これは尖りごころの互の目が連なる様が三本杉のように見えたことからついた呼び名である。この刀は、華やかな焼き幅大きな三本杉乱れが鎬にまで掛り、不揃いに互の目が連れる孫六の三本杉の作風となり、小沸付き、金筋・砂流し頻りに掛るなど刃中の働き見事で、匂口明るく冴える最高傑作である。第二十九代内閣総理大臣犬養毅が大野重治議員に本刀を送った由が鞘書に書かれている。Kanemoto is a blacksmith of the Mino SanMiami lineage, and the one who has been famous since ancient times is the second Kanemoto (commonly known as Magoroku), who lived in the middle of the Muromachi period and was known as Magoroku. , Also known as the best Ohwazamono, it has excellent sharpness and has been loved by warriors since ancient times.
Since Kanemoto II, he has been known by the common name Magoroku for generations, but Kanemoto's representative Hamon is Sanbonsugi(Three Cedars)-Midare, as it is said to be ``Seki no Magoroku Sanbonsugi(Three Cedars)'', which looks like a pair of eyes with a pointed heart. It is the name given because it looked like Sanbonsugi(Three Cedars).
