介绍（中）	Kanewaka是神道教（新剑）时期加贺（现在在石川县）最著名的剑匠，从16世纪末到18世纪末，跨越了200年。在 1619 年 9 月 18 日制造一把剑和 1621 年 1 月的下一把有记录的剑之间，Kanewaka 开始在他的剑上签名，名字是高平，并包括天皇授予他的两个重要头衔。这可以从博物馆剑上的签名中看出：Etchū no kami Fujiwara no Takahira（高平，Etchū名誉知事，藤原家族的名誉成员）。在锻造他签署的刀片表面纹理时，剑匠喜欢两种图案的混合：itame（木纹）和masame（直纹）。他后来的刀片署名高平，其中这是最美丽的刀片之一，显示出对koitame图案的变化，这是一种小而精细的木纹效果。沿刀片边缘的回火线图案也是一个关键的风格特征。在这里，高平选择了一种倾斜的丁香形图案，混合了锯齿形线条，受到 14 世纪中叶美浓和青江画派的刀片的影响，创造了一种脾气线，这是他已知作品中最吸引人的线条之一。
介绍（英）	Kanewaka was the most famous swordsmith of Kaga (now in Ishikawa Prefecture) during the Shinto (new sword) period, which spanned 200 years, from the late sixteenth to the late eighteenth century. Sometime between making a sword dated September 18, 1619, and his next recorded sword, dated January 1621, Kanewaka began signing his blades with the name Takahira and including two important titles granted him by the emperor. This is seen in the signature on the Museum's sword: Etchū no kami Fujiwara no Takahira (Takahira, Honorary Governor of Etchū, Honorary Member of the Fujiwara Family). In forging the surface texture of blades he signed Kanewaka, the swordsmith favored a mixture of two patterns: itame (wood grain) and masame (straight grain). His later blades signed Takahira, of which this is among the most beautiful, show a change to the koitame pattern, a small, finely patterned wood-grain effect. The pattern of the temper line along the edge of the blade is also a key stylistic feature. Here Takahira chose an oblique clove-shaped pattern with mixed zigzag lines influenced by blades from the Mino and Aoe schools of the mid-fourteenth century to create a temper line that is one of the most attractive on his known works.
