  • Early Soft Metal Fittings
    EARLY SOFT METAL FITTINGS This article is an attempt to illustrate the historic development, technical similarities as well as key differences between the major pre-Edo groups of soft-metal workers – with the disclaimer that there will always be exceptions to any attempt at categorization. Soft metal fittings dating to pre-Momoyama times are relatively common, but poorly understood and generally under-appreciated – especially when one takes the time to reflect on the often high artistic quality and level of craftsmanship required to produce them. Unlike iron fittings dating to the same periods, soft metal fittings tend to be very well preserved because the alloys as well as raw materials used in their manufacture tend not to corrode. Three broad groups of fittings need to be addressed: Kokinko, Tachi kanagu-shi and Kagami-shi. Kokinko means “old gold craftsman”. In a broad sense the term is intended to describe pre-Momoyama soft metal fittings which can not be categorized to any specific school or tradition, nor to any specific worker. Since signatures on fittings do not generally appear until the latest Muromachi, and virtually all early Goto works are attributed by later generations, the usage of the term kokinko may be broad indeed. This vagueness of definition has resulted in the term being extended rather haphazardly to encompass various works in soft metal from earliest times. To complicate the matter, there is considerable overlap in techniques employed by artisans we now categorize as kagami-shi (mirror makers) and tachi kagagu-shi (tachi fittings makers). Work by both of these groups has invariably been termed kokinko.

  • JSSUS Tosho Article For
    Overview and Development of Tsuba made by Japanese Swordsmiths By David Stiles Introduction I will introduce new Japanese language terms with an English, non-italicized explanation followed by the standard italicized Romaji and Kanji if possible. The italicized Japanese terms are not punctuated or pluralized like normal English words. To begin, I would like to introduce the topic of my essay: the handguards of Japanese swords referred to as tsuba (鍔) made by professional Swordsmiths, Tôshô (刀匠 ), or their apprentices. In part one of the essay I will present a historical background to the early swordsmith handguards Ko-Tôshô tsuba (古刀匠鍔 ) as well as characteristics that define them as a group. In part two of the essay I will present Tôshô tsuba (刀匠鍔 ) and the characteristics that define them as a group. There is an important caveat that must be stated in regards to this article. The reference material used for this introduction to Tôshô tsuba were written in English or were translated at some point from Japanese to English and are of a secondary nature. New historical or contemporary primary references were not translated and used for the basis of the article. Historical Background of Ko-Tôshô Tsuba The earliest Tôshô tsuba are referred to in Japanese as Ko- Tôshô ( 古刀匠 ) and date from the Genpei War ( Genpei kassen 源平合戦 ) (1180–1185) to middle Muromachi Period ( 室町時代 ) (1400- 1500). The Genpei War was the legendary conflict between the Taira ( 平氏 ) and Minamoto ( 源氏 ) clans during the late Heian Period ( 平安時代 ) (794-1185). There are references in historical documents of the Genpei War to the hand guards and blade collars made by professional swordsmiths or their apprentices.

UNIVERSITY OF KYOTO VOLUME IV 1929 PUBUSIIED bY THE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS IN 'fHR IMPERIAL UNIVERSITY OF KYOTO THE NEW ECONOMIC POLICY IN THE CLOSING DAYS OF THE TOKUGAW A SHOGUNATE The period of about 260 years following the Keicho and Genna eras (1596-1623) is called either the Tokugawa period or the age of the feudal system based on the centralisation of power; but, needless to say, the situation in this period, as in other periods, was subject to a variety of changes. Especially in and after the middle part of the Tokugawa Shogunate, commerce and industry witnessed considerable development, currency was widely circulated and the chanin class, or commercial interests, gained much influence in consequence of the growth of urban districts. This led to the development of the currency economy in addition to the land economy already existing, a new economic power thus coming into being besides the agrarian economic power. Owing to this remarkable economic change, it became im· possible for the samurai class to maintain their livelihood, and for the farming class to support the samurai class as under the old economic system, with the result that these classes had to bow to the new economic power and look to the chiinin for financial help.

Tokugawa = the name of the family that ruled Japan from 1603 – 1868 shogun = the leader of Japanʼs military—this job was hereditary (it was inherited) The term shogunate refers to the Japanese government during the era it was ruled by Tokugawa shoguns. • The Tokugawa shogunate created a FEUDAL government in Japan. Feudalism is a system in which land is exchanged for military service and loyalty. FEUDALISM can be described as a DECENTRALIZED POLITICAL SYSTEM that also provides SOCIAL STABILITY (or social structure). For this reason, feudalism is sometimes referred to as a both a political system and a social system. The Global Regents Exam often compares Japanese (Tokugawa) feudalism to Medieval European feudalism. In both Japan and Europe, emperors and kings were to weak to prevent invasions or stop internal disputes. Feudalism provided a way for rulers to preserve law and order (see Regents Review Packet #5 for more on European feudalism).
