　鎌倉中期の名短刀に見られる特徴的な茎の形

短刀　無銘　則重（重要刀剣）

鎌倉時代中期は日本刀の黄金時代とよばれる。対外的にも二度の蒙古襲来という国の存亡を揺るがす大事件が起こり、日本刀を使う武士、そして日本刀を作る刀鍛冶たちの気概も最高潮に達していた。そんな時代背景をもとに、粟田口藤四郎吉光、来國俊、来國光、新藤五國光、長舩景光、兼光、相州行光、正宗、則重たちの名工が刀剣史に燦然と輝く名刀を産み出したのだった。

今回の動画では日本刀黄金期に腕を振るった名工たちの作の中でも殊に名作の多い短刀の、その造形（造り込み）に深掘りの視点を当ててまいります。
これら名短刀の多くに共通する大きく曲がった茎、振袖茎と呼ばれる茎の形状はなぜ生み出されたのか？
日本刀専門店銀座長州屋が、現存する短刀、そしてつなぎの形から鎌倉時代の形状を持つ短刀を収めていたことが明らかな短刀拵（外装）を実際に用いながら、「湾曲した茎＝振袖茎」はなんのため？」だったか、その疑問を検証してまいります。
一千年の時代を経て現代に伝えられる美術品である日本刀、その日本刀の「原点」「根幹」ともいえるもう一つの側面が明らかになること間違いありません。

The characteristic shape of the tang seen in famous short swords of the mid-Kamakura period
Tantō (short sword), Mumei (unsigned), Norishige (Important Cultural Property)
The mid-Kamakura period is called the golden age of Japanese swords. Externally, there were two major events that shook the nation's very existence - the Mongol invasions. The spirit of the samurai who wielded the swords, as well as the swordsmiths who forged them, reached their highest levels during this era. Against this historical backdrop, master craftsmen such as Awataguchi Fujiwara Yoshimitsu, Kikunori Toshi, Kikunori Mitsunori, Shinto Gonokunitoshi, Nagafune Naobitsu, Kaneko, Ōshū Yukimitusu, Masamune, and Norishige produced many renowned swords that have become legendary in sword history.
In this video, we will take an in-depth look at the distinctive shapes, or "tsukurikomi," of the short swords (tantō) produced by these master swordsmiths during the golden age of Japanese swords.
What was the reason behind the creation of the widely curved tangs, known as "fukubi-tsuki," that are commonly seen in many of these masterpieces? Ginza Choshuya, a specialty Japanese sword shop, will utilize existing short swords, as well as mountings that clearly show the Kamakura-period form, to investigate the purpose behind the "curved tangs = fukubi-tsuki."
There is no doubt that the insights gained will shed light on another crucial aspect, the "origin" and "core" of the Japanese sword - an art form that has been passed down over the course of a millennium to the present day.
