108 肥前刀 Hizen-tou
前述したように(090)新刀時代は各地で新興勢力が台頭しました。
そのなかで肥前国(現佐賀、長崎県)では豪族少弐家出身の忠吉を祖とするいわゆる
肥前刀が隆盛を極めます。
作柄は山城伝を基調として垢抜けて姿良く、品格優れ、藩工としても優遇されました。
In Shinto age, new sword smith appear everywhere.
Specially Hizenn(now Saga,Nagasaki prefecture)
sword smith reached their peak.
Their swords are called "Hizenn-tou".
The first Hizenn sword smith is Tadayoshi.
He was a member of native powerful family

Hizenn-tou is based on "Yamashiro-denn(Yamashiro-style)".
They are good style,graceful,and good performance.
