DetailsThe Senjuin school of Yamato is said to be a group of blacksmiths that belonged to a monastery (also called Todaiji-related or Kofuku-ji-related) located near Senju Valley at the foot of Mt. While the four schools of Shirikake originated in the late Kamakura period, it is much older, dating back to the late Heian period. This is an old sword believed to have been made by Kosenjuin from the late Heian period to the early Kamakura period. The workmanship is full of antiquity, with a small, elegantly flowing straight-grained skin, straight edges, and slight fraying in places.
大和の千手院派は奈良若草山の麓の千手谷付近にあった僧院（東大寺系とも興福寺系ともいう）に属した鍛冶集団と伝えており、他の当麻・手掻・保昌・尻懸の四派の発祥が鎌倉後期であるのに対して、平安末期と発生が際立って古い。本作は平安時代末期～鎌倉時代初期の古千手院の作と思われる古剣である。頭が張らず小振りで優雅に流れた柾目肌、直刃、処々ほつれて小沸つくなど古色溢れる出来栄えを示している。
