Yoshimitsu Tanto

Yoshimitsu Tanto
Yoshimitsu, of the Edo period, was regarded as one of the tree greatest swordsmiths of Japanese history, but his tantos are revered as the best. In period Japanese society, gift giving was an integral part of proper etiquette and rewards for service were usually bladed weapons. For the Tokugawa family, blades by Yoshimitsu and his descendants were thought to be extremely auspicious. The Yoshimitsu Tanto is made to honor this great smith by replicating one of his surviving blades. The forged T10 high-carbon blade, with its distinctive hamon, is superb. The Tsuka is Same (ray skin) wrapped and the kashira and kurikata are of buffalo horn. The kozuka and the menuki are decorated in the hollyhock motif of the Tokugawa family. The deeply lacquered scabbard with a Japanese cotton sageo complete this magnificent piece.
