Description

This tanto, crafted by Yoshiwara Kuniie, a Mukansa swordsmith and Tokyo Intangible Cultural Property, features a robust construction with a wide body. The jitetsu is tightly forged ko-itame hada with fine nie, and the hamon is gunome midare with abundant ko-nie. The blade is further enhanced by a magnificent engraving of a roaring tiger and Sanskrit characters by Hashimoto Shuha, a master of sword carving.
