Explanation
During the Shin-to period, Inoue Shinkai was recognized as one of the top swordsmiths alongside Tsuda Echizen-no-kami Sukehira, receiving the highest accolades for new swords. The second generation Kunisada, Inoue Shinkai was the second son of the first Izumi no Kami Kunisada. Initially, he was named Izumi no Kami Kunisada like his father, and after being granted permission to use the kikumon by the court in the 4th year of Manji, he began to call himself Inoue Izumi no Kami Kunisada. Later, in the 12th year of Kanbun, he changed his name to Inoue Shinkai. Shinkai was a superior craftsman compared to his father, producing waves of nioi and displaying remarkable vitality and clarity, earning him a high reputation alongside other top swordsmiths of the new sword era, such as Tsuda Echizen-no-kami Sukehira and Nagasone Kotetsu, eventually being referred to as Osaka Masamune.
This piece is a wakizashi inscribed by Shinkai in the 13th year of Kanbun, recognized as a top-quality work from the new sword era and celebrated as one of the best.

新刀期、津田越前守助廣と並び西の横綱と称され、新刀最高位の評価を与えられたのがこの井上真改である。 二代国貞、井上真改は初代和泉守国貞の次男であり、初め父同様和泉守国貞と銘し、万治四年に朝廷より菊紋をきることを許さたこの頃から井上和泉守国貞と名のる。その後寛文十二年八月より井上真改と名を改める。真改は父に勝る上手で、沸出来の波紋を焼き粗沸つきその覇気と匂口の冴えは新刀鍛冶中屈指であり、同国の津田越前守助廣や新刀期東の横綱、長曽祢乕徹と並びその技量を高く評価され、大阪正宗と称される程に至った。
本作は延宝三年の真改銘の脇差である。大阪新刀のしっとりとした精美な地鉄に刃文は中直刃を基調にした互の目の交じった沸出来となり、粗沸付き覇気が匂口明るく冴える。新刀最上作にして西の横綱と称される真改の優品である

Notice of Exhibition from Wakeido
Tochio Art Museum, Nagaoka City
Special Project
"Swords Born in the Turbulent Period of Japanese Swords"
– A Comparison of Swords from the Late Muromachi Period and the End of the Edo Period –
Cooperation: Nihon Bijutsu Token Hozon Kyokai Nagaoka Shibu
When considering the history of Japanese swords, it is closely related to Japan's long history, and it is impossible to discuss Japanese swords without understanding this historical background.
It is well known that there were significant conflicts during transitional periods throughout the more than 1,000 years since the mid-Heian period when Japanese swords were established. Therefore, upon examining the subsequent Japanese swords, one can notice that they have undergone various changes, including their appearance and form.
In other words, it can be said that Japanese swords, which were tools of war, had to respond sensitively to the times and methods of combat.
In this exhibition, we will showcase Japanese swords from the beginning of the Sengoku period during the late Muromachi period, which is said to have lasted the longest in history, alongside those from the late Edo period around the Boshin War, which continues to influence and be remembered in modern Japanese history.
We hope you will reflect on the changes and commonalities in their shapes, colors, and hamon patterns, as well as the spirit of the Japanese artisans of that time.
We warmly invite everyone to come and visit.

The Touryusai school traces its origins to Kiyotoshi Tanaka, who was born in Aizu in the first year of the Bunka era and is said to have trained in the Aizu Shōami school during his youth. He honed his skills under Kōno Shunmei when the latter visited Tōhoku, completing a clever style known as the Touryusai school that became popular during the late Edo period.

Certification: [N.B.T.H.K.] Tokubetsu Hozon Tousougu
Size: Length 72.5mm, Width 68.5mm, Thickness 4mm
Period: Late Edo period, around Bunka and Bunsei
School: Hamano school
Explanation
The Hamano school is a prestigious lineage founded by Masazumi, producing notable artisans such as Kizuzui, Naochika, Horie Kousei, and Iwama Masaru. Naochika, known as Seibei, studied under Kizuzui to hone his skills, leaving behind collaborative works with his master. He resided in Kofu, Kai.
This work features high relief carving and inlaid color painting on a quarter-inch surface, depicting the scene of Kamewari Onkou. Kamewari Onkou refers to the story of Sima Guang, a politician from the Northern Song dynasty in China, who cleverly saved a friend who had fallen into a water jar during childhood. This tale teaches that a person's life is more precious than a valuable jar, symbolizing the importance of life in temple carvings and festival floats. It is also known as "Sima Onkou's Jar Breaking" or "Breaking the Jar to Save a Child."

Description
Iwami Masayoshi is the founder of the Iwama school. He was a disciple of Hamano Naosuke and was allowed to use the character 'Nao' at the age of twenty, taking the name Naoyasu. After training at the main house, he signed as Katsuryuken Masayoshi, and in his later years, he adopted the name Juboku in pursuit of the ideal techniques of Riju and Mizume Masazui. He excelled in high carving in the Seizui style, and his skills were praised as exceptional.
This work is a kozuka depicting a fierce tiger, notable for its interesting composition. The tiger looks up at the sky with a vivid expression, and the high relief technique used in the background creates a three-dimensional representation of the fierce tiger, which is impressive.

本作は猛虎の図の小柄だが、まず構図が面白い、空を見上げた虎が表情よく、四分一地を鋤下高堀で猛虎を立体的に表現し見事である。

Description
The Oomori School is a prestigious lineage alongside the Ishiguro-ha and Yanagawa-ha within the Okutani School, founded by Hidehisa, who trained under Yokoya Somin, and flourished under the second generation, Hidenaga.
Hidehisa Omori, the eldest son of Hidehisa, initially took the name Hanjitsu and later assumed the name Shirobe. After passing away earlier than his father, the family estate was inherited by his younger brother, Fusami. Consequently, the number of his works is limited.
This piece showcases the high skill of the Oomori School, featuring a high relief color painting of a peony lion on a red-copper fish scale ground in the Yokoya style.
