FUJIWARA KANEFUSA XXVI
Born in 1978 as the eldest son of the FUJIWARA KANEFUSA XXV, whose family has more than 600 years of history as Japanese swordsmith. In 2000 he started training under his father FUJIWARA KANEFUSA XXV and grandfather FUJIWARA KANEFUSA XXIV to inherit the tradition of the family and became a swordsmith on 2005 after 6 years of hard training. Soon after becoming a swordsmith, he began to get ahead with his great work and received the awards from the Society for the Preservation of Japanese Art Swords.
He had the honor of dedicating his swords to The Imperial Shrine of Yasukuni and The Atsuta Shrine, the most famous and important shrines in Japan. He is not only preserving the tradition by making swords, but also trying to make people who have never had a chance to know these swords interested in them, by participating in the sword exhibition collaborated with the Japanese animation such as “ The exhibition of Neon Genesis Evangelion and Japanese sword” etc..
"Belief"
Most of the people see swords as a weapon, but it actually has been used more as the amulet which protects the owner from evil sprits and disaster since ancient times. It has been said that divine virtues dwell in swords, and for this reason they were given to the newborn baby and newlyweds. The swords can be preserved for hundred and thousand years remaining its original beauty if you take care of them in a right way, and that is why I make each sword with all my heart and sincerity. While keeping the traditional techniques transmitted from generation to generation, I would like to introduce my own new techniques in order to make the swords distinctive from others. In my style, the base metal is “ITAMEHADA”(cross grain design), the HAMON (temper pattern of the sword) is “GUNOME MIDARE”(irregularly undulating hamon), the blade surface is “SUNANAGASHI”(brushed sand) and “KINSUJI”(golden stripe), the point of sword is long and those make my sword magnificent. I would be very happy if you start having interest in Japanese sword through mine.
