It has arrived, it has arrived! A precious tanto by the swordsmith Enju Muneharu, who signs his mei as Higo Dotanuki Muneharu, has appeared. He is a swordsmith related to Dotanuki Munehiro, who represented the pinnacle of the Higo Dotanuki school in Kyushu during the Bakumatsu period. This tanto is a work from around the Keio era (1865) of the Bakumatsu (161 years ago). It was crafted during a turbulent period marked by the Second Choshu Expedition, the accession of Tokugawa Yoshinobu as the 15th Shogun, the Taiseihokan (restoration of political power to the Emperor), the declaration of the Restoration of Imperial Rule, and the lead-up to the Boshin War. The sugata reflects the excellent tanto style of Rai Kunitoshi from the Kamakura period. The jigane is powerfully forged in ko-itame hada. The hamon is a nioi-deki style with ko-nie, featuring a suguha-cho temper line fired consistently from the moto to the saki, which is truly magnificent. The koshirae is an elegant kuro-ro aikuchi koshirae, which adds further splendor to this tanto. Due to the massive hit of "Kozure Okami" (Lone Wolf and Cub) starring Yorozuya Kinnosuke (Nakamura Kinnosuke), the prices of Dotanuki school swords skyrocketed after the war. Furthermore, the popularity of Dotanuki is currently at its peak due to "Touken Ranbu." While this popularity continues to grow ever more, actual works by Dotanuki are scarce, making this tanto by the swordsmith Dotanuki Muneharu wonderful and precious. This tanto has been cherished for generations by an old family, but as they have aged, they have entrusted it to us with the request to "pass it on at a low price to someone who will treasure it." Therefore, we are offering it at a special bargain price. Please do enjoy it.
