From Aoi Bijutsu: Gassan, which is 1980 meters high in the central part of Yamagata Prefecture, has long been a training ground for Haguro Yamabushi. From Omuro to Mt. Yudono There is a place called a swords makers or a blacksmith’s house when it goes down a little. Introducing Okusodo as the ruins of Gassan sword maakers. It has been done. However, since iron sand is not produced in this mountain, They usually make swords in other places and pray for this. It is probable that thesw’ord makers mansion was used. Gassan has been inscribed since the early Muromachi period, and the year has not expired. It is said that the season will fall in the middle of the Muromachi period. Ayasugi hada disappeared completely in the Edo period, but at the end of the Edo period. Gassan sadakazu succeeded in producing Ayasugi Jigane after struggling to produce Gassan hada (Ayasugi hada). This technique was handed down to Gassan Sadakatsu. It is still carefully protected as a secret of the school. In my opinion, it can be seen as Mt. Gassan because of the age of the warped stems.The gorgeous scabbard is colored with gold, and the brim is a gorgeous Kikuchi Masakatsu carp pattern engraved on a bronze ground and colored with gold. It is a perfect work.
We definitely recommend this Ko-Gassan work that is sure to be inscribed.
