西垣一派とは、初代は勘四郎吉弘。慶長十八年に豊前中津生まれ。平田彦三の門人として修行し、同流白銀細工の相伝免許を許され、独立後に細川家の抱え工となる。初期の作風は林はに比べて鍔のいびつの崩れた感じで不釣合なものがあり、これが作柄に勘四郎独特の雅趣を添えている。丸型の鍔は布袋腹式につくっつた物があり、下部が張り出した気味になるとともに、肥後鍔の中では、この一派だけに見られる特徴である。

西垣勘平は、二代康四郎の弟。鉄鐔の透彫を得意とし、西垣の伝統を踏まえた、小じんまりと堅く繕って手際の良い作を残している。又、枯木象嵌が得意であり、金性もよく上手である。Tatemarugata Tetsumigakiji Jisukashi Kebori Marumimi

The first generation of the Nishigaki group was Kanshiro Yoshihiro. Born in Nakatsu, Buzen in the 18th year of Keicho. He trained as a disciple of Hikozo Hirata, was granted a license to inherit the same school of silver work, and became the Hosokawa family's maid after becoming independent. Compared to Hayashiha, his early style has an unbalanced sense of distorted brim, and this adds Kanshiro's unique elegance to his work. Some of the round tsuba are made in the shape of a cloth bag, and the lower part of the tsuba seems to protrude.

Kanpei Nishigaki is the younger brother of Koshiro II. He specializes in the openwork of iron tsuba, and has left behind neatly and neatly repaired works based on the tradition of Nishigaki. In addition, he is good at dead tree inlay, and is also good at gold quality.
