Hors-séries 番外編 The Japanese sword museum : Exhibition of sword accessories October 28th 2023 刀装展

このビデオは、日本文学の朗読ではない番外編です。
刀装具含め、刀が好きなので見に行きました。
Nestled within the realm of cultural preservation and admiration, one discovers the Japanese Sword Museum-a haven of unparalleled craftsmanship and historical significance. As a fervent enthusiast and custodian of three treasured katana, my recent sojourn into the museum unfolded as a captivating odyssey through the intricate world of katana accessories, each adorned with extraordinary finishes that narrated tales of unrivaled craftsmanship and artistic prowess.
Established in 1968 as an affiliated facility of the Japan Art Sword Preservation Association, the museum stands as a living testament to the unwavering dedication and passion for safeguarding and disseminating the rich tapestry of Japanese sword culture. Crossing its threshold transported me into a realm where tradition seamlessly wove itself with innovation, breathing vitality into the accessories that complement these iconic blades.
The October 28th exhibition unveiled a diverse array of katana accessories, their finishes etching an indelible mark on my memory. The meticulous craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail were palpable in each piece, underscoring the profound connection shared between the artisans and their craft.
As I reluctantly bid farewell to the museum, the indelible images of those extraordinary katana accessories lingered in my thoughts, instilling within me a rekindled appreciation for the artistry that imbues life into these timeless blades.
This visit has, in turn, ignited a fervent passion within me to delve deeper into the practice of Iai-do-a discipline centered around the harmonious execution of waza (techniques) and performance in tandem with the katana. The museum experience has become a catalyst, propelling my commitment to further explore and embody the essence of this ancient martial art.

    While replicating the exact accessories of swords from the past may be challenging, I believe that modern craftsmen can honor the legacy of these pieces by infusing them with the same level of meticulous craftsmanship. By applying traditional techniques and working with authentic materials, they can create high-quality 刀装具 that not only reflect the functionality and beauty of the past but also showcase the skill and dedication of contemporary artisans…

    At 10:37 there is a tachi with a very unusual hilt. I recently say Kurosawa's Ran, and noticed hilts like this in the film for the highest ranking characters. Can anyone provide me with the search terms to learn about this form of hilt?

    Thank you for your comment! The 拵 you're referring to is called '金地青貝上り藤紋鞘毛抜形銀太刀拵' Words for search would be : 毛抜形太刀 柄地板 毛抜形 The "毛抜形太刀拵 / kenuki-gata tachi-koshirae" is a mount (or style of mounting) for swords that was popular among the aristocracy during the middle of the Heian period. It features a handle with a board that has a design resembling a "kenuki" (a tool used for plucking hair) inserted into it. Hope it helps :)
