Curious turn of fate between Iai swords and my ancestors

I’m Yas from the CEO of Art Sword Japan.

Let me apologize for not updating often.
It’s been already two weeks since I started this shop and I didn’t know what to write first because the first time is very important.

When I visited my parent’s home the other day, I was talking with my father about my ancestors. I could find what to write first because I found out something interesting there.

Please have a look at the sword below.

Show Sword

Kunishige Kijinmaru is one of the best Iai sword we sell at Art Sword Japan.
The history of the sword is very long. The sword was produced in Kamakura period (a period of Japanese history that marks the governance by the Kamakura shogunate, officially established in 1192 in Kamakura by the first shogun, Minamoto no Yoritomo). It is later part of the 12th century, so it is the period of the third crusade and the Renaissance of 12th century.

 

Kunishige Kijinmaru is called “Sekimono” made by “Minoden Kaji (Metalsmith)”.
Japanese swordsmithing called “Sekikaji” have the Kanji word “Kane” before their names.
Kanesada Izuminokami, Kanemoto Magoroku, Kane-Fusa are famous as Japanese swordsmithing.
Their ancestor is “Motoshige” who lived as a Japanese swordsmithing in the 12th century. He was a retainer of the close associates of the Imperial Family.

The “Close associates” is Fujiwara Family who are my ancestors. (If my father didn’t lie!)

–

Minoden

It is said to be the most beautiful technique.
Japanese sword making of Minoden Kaji (Swordsmithing) who live in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture is called “Sekimono” and the Japanese sword making of Mino Kaji in the age of Civil Wars are collectively called “Suesekimono”.

–

Seki Swords

Good quality blade clay, pine charcoal for fireplaces, good quality water from Nagara River and Tsubo River. – The ideal land which has the ideal condition for Japanese Swordsmithing is “Seki (Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, Japan)”.
In Muromachi Period (1336-1573), there were more than 300 Swordsmithing and the Seki Swords which are said to be “Not to break, not bend, and sharply cut” are spread nationwide in Japan.

Types of Japanese Swords

There are many types of Japanese swords that differ by size, shape, field of application and method of manufacture.
Some of the more commonly known types of Japanese swords are the Katana, Wakizashi, and Tachi.

 

 

 

The following are types of Japanese swords:

 

 

  • Chokuto(Straight sword)
    A straight single edged sword that was produced prior to the 10th century, and without differential hardening or folding.

 

  • Tsurugi/Ken(Sword)
    A straight two edged sword that was produced prior to the 10th century, and may be without differential hardening or folding.

 

  • Tachi(Big Sword)
    A sword that is generally longer and more curved than the later katana, with curvature centered from the middle or towards the tang, and often including the tang. Tachi were worn suspended, with the edge downward. The tachi was in vogue before the 15th century.

 

  • Kodachi(Small Big Sword)
    A shorter version of the tachi, but with similar mounts and intended use, mostly found in the 13th century or earlier.
    Very large tachi, some in excess of 100 cm, and usually a blade of the late 14th century.

 

  • Uchigatana
    A development from the tachi in the 15th century. Worn with the edge upwards in the obi.

 

  • Katate-uchi(One Handed)
    A short type of uchigatana developed in the 16th century, with short tang, intended for one handed use. One of the forerunners of the wakizashi.

 

  • Katana(Sword)
    A general term for the traditional sword with a curved blade longer than 60 cm (there is no upper length limit but generally they are shorter than 80 cm), worn with the edge upwards in the sash. Developed from the uchigatana and the sword of the samurai class of the Edo period (1600s to late 19th century).
