後藤程乗光昌は後藤宗家の九代目であり、七代目顕乗の嫡男として慶長八年（1603）に生まれ、幼銘を寅市、源一郎と称し、のちに理兵衛を襲名している。加賀前田家に出仕し、加賀藩の彫金及び財政面の御用達を置こうとともに、加賀後藤派の発展に尽くた。先代の八代即乗の没後、その子の十代廉乗が幼少だったため九代目となり廉乗の後見となったのも父顕乗と同じ立場になっているのが面白い。

He served the Kaga Maeda clan and worked on both the metalwork and financial aspects of the clan, contributing to the development of the Kaga Gotō School. After the death of the eighth generation Sokujo, his son the tenth generation Renjō was still young, so Teijō became the ninth generation and served as Renjō's guardian, a position similar to that of his father Kenjō.

Description
Mitsutoshi Nobukatsu of the Yagami school is the younger brother of the first Hizen Yagami Mitsuhiro. He traveled extensively and became a disciple of Nanjo Toshiyuki's family in Edo, marrying Yoshiko, the daughter of the Miyamoto family. After the death of his elder brother, he returned to Hizen Yagami, took over the family business, and adopted the name Naganosuke, becoming the second Mitsuhiro. The Yagami school specializes in iron tsuba and is known for its skill in depicting monkeys, but this piece features intricate high-relief color inlays with a design of the messenger from the Dragon Palace, showcasing meticulous craftsmanship and high skill. Nanjo Toshiyuki became part of the Hamano school, so this remarkable work can indeed be said to be a masterpiece by the second Mitsuhiro, who trained in the Hamano style in Edo.

矢上光寿は初代肥前矢上光広の実弟で各地を遊歴し、江戸本所の南条利随家に入門し宮本氏の娘ヨシと結構する。初代の没後、肥前矢上に帰郷し、家業を継ぎ長之介を襲名し二代光広と改める。矢上派は鉄鍔で群猿などを得意とするが、本作は色金の鋤下げ彫りに高彫象嵌色絵を施し、図も竜宮使者の図と面白く仕事が丁寧で技量が高い。南条利随は浜野派になるので、なるほど江戸で浜野流を修業した二代光広の力作の珍品といえよう。

京透とは山城国で製作された地透鐔で尾張・金山・赤坂鍔などとともに有名な透鐔である。他の透鍔と同様に室町後期にその透の手法ができたとされており、江戸期に京透鍔は尾張鍔の無骨で力強さを感じる造りとは対照に優雅で繊細である。文様は洗練され品があり、京都の文化が感じられる作風となる。その中でも江戸中期に鍔商、大文字五郎兵衛が扱った鍔は特に洗練れた出来の良い鍔であり。それらの鍔を総称して大五郎鍔という。

Certification: N.B.T.H.K. Hozon Tousougu

Size: Length 67.5mm, Width 61mm, Thickness 3mm

Period: Late Edo

School: Iwama school

Explanation
The Iwama school, founded by Masayoshi Iwama, has produced many skilled craftsmen such as Shinsui, Shinro, Shangluo, and Nobukatsu. Since Masayoshi Iwama studied under Naoyuki Hamano, the Iwama school left behind magnificent works characterized by the high carving of the Hamano style, producing many excellent pieces.
This piece also features high relief inlay and color painting typical of the Hamano style, showcasing fine craftsmanship.

The diagram of Monsyosei (also known as Bunshousei)
The four stars of the ladle-shaped part formed from the first star of the Big Dipper, Kaisei, are deified as Tokai in China, revered as the god of high-ranking officials and success in the imperial examination. The character for 'kai' (demon) is composed of the characters for 'oni' and 'to' (ladle), depicted as a dancing deity holding a brush in the right hand and a ladle in the left.
Bunshousei shines as the six stars next to Tokai, and together they are considered the gods of literature.
These concepts were transmitted from China, and in Japan, they were regarded as deities bringing peace and prosperity, often depicted with a shachi (mythical creature).
