In the history of Japanese swords, the Bizen Ichimonji lineage created
the most beautiful patterns in the tempered blade. The Ichimonji guild
began in the early Kamakura period with Norimune. Among the master swordsmiths
summoned by Retired Emperor Go-Toba for his official workshop, the Gobankaji, we find many smiths of the Ichimonji lineage. After the Jokyu Rebellion
(1221), in which the Retired Emperor Go-Toba failed to topple the Kamakura
military government, the Ichimonji lineage received the patronage of the
ruling Hojo clan. The Ichimonji forged impressive blades with brilliant
patterns, swords that matched the practical and virile spirit of the Kamakura
warriors. Polishing their art, they achieved in creating an incomparable
culture of steel. In this exhibition, we will trace the history of the
Bizen Ichimonji lineage through famous examples of its swords.
