A Western-style sword. Its original form was a weapon used by Saracen pirates, and a modified long sword is said to have been used in Germany since the 14th century. After King Louis XIV of France adopted it as a cavalry weapon in 1670, it spread throughout Europe and was used as a cavalry weapon and for the ceremonial uniforms of high-ranking military personnel. The former Japanese military also adopted it as a command sword and cavalry weapon from the Meiji period, as it is lighter than a Japanese sword and can be handled with one hand. Police officers also carried it from 1882 (Meiji 15), but it was abolished after the Pacific War. It is currently used for ceremonial purposes by the Self-Defense Forces. The fencing sabre is a type of this sword. [Yoshio Kobashi] [Reference] |Source: Shogakukan Encyclopedia Nipponica About Encyclopedia Nipponica Information | Legend |
洋式刀のこと。原型はサラセンの海賊の武器で、それから変型した長剣が、14世紀以来ドイツ地方で用いられていたといわれる。1670年にフランスのルイ14世が騎兵用の武器として採用してから、ヨーロッパ各国に普及し、騎兵隊の武器、および高級軍人の礼装用などに採用された。旧日本軍においても、日本刀より軽量で、かつ片手で扱えるため、明治時代から指揮刀、騎兵用の武器として採用し、また警察官も1882年(明治15)以来携帯していたが、太平洋戦争後廃止された。現在では自衛隊の礼式用に使われている。なお、フェンシングのサーブルはこの一種である。 [小橋良夫] [参照項目] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
