銘 後藤光則
特別保存刀装具鑑定書付（公益財団法人日本美術刀剣保存協会）
赤銅魚子地に、苫舟を表した小柄。
細密な魚子地の上に、静かに浮かぶ舟の姿。簡潔でありながら余白を活かし、後藤家伝統の洗練された意匠感覚がうかがえる。
後藤光則は後藤家の系譜に連なる金工であり、本作にも同派らしい品格ある彫技と均整の取れた地造りが見られる。
赤銅地の発色は落ち着き、魚子も整然として美しい。保存状態も良好で、日刀保の特別保存刀装具鑑定書を付す。
Signed Gotō Mitsunori
NBTHK Tokubetsu Hozon (Special Preservation) Certificate
A refined kozuka crafted in shakudō with an exceptionally fine nanako (fish-roe) ground, depicting a tomabune (thatched boat) in subtle relief and gold highlights.
The nanako surface is evenly and precisely punched, forming a restrained, light-absorbing ground from which the quiet silhouette of the boat emerges. The composition is deliberately minimal, emphasizing balance and refined taste rather than ornamentation.
The motif of the tomabune — a small boat covered with woven straw matting — evokes calm waterside scenery and poetic solitude, themes favored in classical Japanese aesthetics.
