在西元一八七六年明治天皇颁布‘废刀令’以前,武士刀除被用做护身的武器外,同时还被日本人视为像征民族传统精神的一项灵器。现在,虽然它已不再具备实用的价值,但不可否认,它在日本民族美的意识演变过程中,仍居有相当重要的地位。 剑有双刃适于戮、刺,而日本刀仅一刃,因此两人对峙时,必得用双手握刀以砍、劈的方式御敌,所以一把保存良好的日本刀需具备三个基本条件,即刀口没有碎裂、刀身没有弯曲变形、锋芒依旧锐利,但足以令这把刀永垂不朽的还在于符合美学、工艺的流线设计。 千锤百炼始成好刀,日本刀以造型和长度,分成太刀、打刀、胁差及短刀。太刀及打刀长在六十公分以上,平安时代(十二世纪)末期到室町时代初期,流行佩戴太刀于马上或仪仗典礼;室町时代中期(十五世纪后半)到江户时代末期(十九世纪中叶),则开始使用打刀,刀长在三十公分与六十公分之间者则称做‘胁差’;三十公分以下则称做短刀。 成就一把好刀需要经过不断的冶炼:高温加热反复折叠、锤平,尤其为使刃口更为坚锐,采用局部淬火。而且通过改变钢制结构的方法解决了几千年来不能韧性和硬度兼顾的难题。如何鉴赏一把好刀?通过外表来窥探刀的品质,最显著的是通过折叠锻造而产生的天然纹路---地肌。曲度必须幽雅,也就是所谓的刀姿,同时造型匀称、另外刃文也很讲究,就连与之匹配的刀鞘质感与图案、缠绕刀柄回旋绳线的特殊设计,都极尽考究,所以尽管锻造方法人人皆知,但只有极少数名家精心冶炼的刀,才会被武士真心接纳为肢体的一部分,并为其后世子孙代代相传下来。

"I stuck landscape photographs on the faces of a cube and shot them frame-by-frame. It looks like the box is forever revolving, but in truth it only revolves 90 degrees. The trick to this sensation is fundamentally the same as the one used in SPACY. I was aiming at disturbing our awareness of space in the movement from the three-dimensional to a plane and back again." Takashi Ito
