説明Drscription
近江大掾忠廣は、橋本平作郎といい、初代忠吉の子として慶長十九年に生まれ、寛永九年(1632年)父没後に十九歳にして忠廣を襲名している。寛永十八年(1641年)に近江大掾を受領、元禄六年(1693年)に八十歳で没するまでの六十有余年の長きに渡って作刀を続けている。その為、寛永、寛文、元禄期とそれぞれの時代に応じた体配をした数多くの作品を残しているが、新刀の刀工中、初代忠吉に次ぎ、2番目に多く重要刀剣に指定されており、如何に名刀が多いかが伺える。この刀は、身幅広く、反り尋常、先幅も広い均整の取れた姿で、小杢目肌に、杢目肌交じり、地沸微塵に厚くつき、地景入り、明るい地鉄に、華やかな互の目丁子を焼き、足よく入り、沸深く付き、砂流し掛り、匂深く、匂口明るく冴える傑作である。Tadahiro Oumino, called Heisakuro Hashimoto, was born in the 19th year of Keicho as a child of the first Tadayoshi, and was named Tadahiro at the age of 19 after his father died in 1632. He received Oumino Tadahiro in the 18th year of Kanei (1641), and has continued to make swords for more than 60 years until he died at the age of 80 in the 6th year of Genroku (1693).
For that reason, he has left many works with body arrangements according to each era, such as Kanei, Kanbun, and Genroku, but he is the second most designated Juyo Token after Shinto's swordsmith, Tadayoshi Ichidai. You can see how many famous swords there are.
This sword has a wide Mihaba, Standard Sori, wide Sakihaba in a well-proportioned form,Small-Mokumehada, Mixed Mokumehada, Jinie fine and thick, Chikei entered, Bright Jitetsu, Gorgeous Gunome-chouji, Ashi entered well, Deep Nie entered, Sunagashi-kakari, Deep Nioi, Nioikuchi is bright and clear masterpiece.
