("Chrysanthemum and ''Ichi'' character"), also "Kiku-ichimoji", often and somewhat erroneously romanized as "Kikuichi-monji", is a collective name given to the Japanese swords made by the thirteen swordsmiths who were in attendance to the Emperor Go-Toba in 1208. Each swordsmith was in attendance to the emperor for a month of the Japanese calendar. The swordsmiths of the Fukuoka School traditionally inscribed only the character "Ichi" (一, ''one'') on the tang as their signature. They further received permission to append the Imperial chrysanthemum crest (菊, ''kiku'') on the tang, thus their swords are known collectively as "Kiku-ichimonji". Go-Toba was interested in the construction of Japanese swords, and so he summoned these swordsmiths, granting them court rank and title, and asked them to share the secrets of the production of higher-quality swords. ==List of Swordsmiths== *1st month: Norimune (from Fukuoka in Bizen Province) *2nd month: Sadatsugu (from Ko-aoe in Bitchū Province) *3rd month: Nobufusa (from Fukuoka in Bizen Province) *4th month: Kuniyasu (from Awataguchi in Yamashiro Province) *5th month: Tsunetsugu (from Ko-aoe in Bitchū Province) *Intercalary month: Hisakuni (from Awataguchi in Yamashiro Province) *6th month: Kunitomo (from Awataguchi in Yamashiro Province) *7th month: Muneyoshi (from Fukuoka, in Bizen Province) *8th month: Tsuguie (from Ko-aoe in Bitchū Province) *9th month: Sukemune (from Fukuoka in Bizen Province) *10th month: Yukikuni (from Fukuoka in Bizen Province) *11th month: Sukenari (from Fukuoka in Bizen Province) *12th month: Sukenobu (from Fukuoka in Bizen Province) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kiku-ichimonji」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
