This is a tanto made by Hisayuki, an unusual swordsmith from Musashi Province during the late Edo period. Born in Tenmei 6 (1786) as the eldest son of Kawai Sojiro Hisataka, a shogunate retainer, Hisayuki became a swordsmith after studying under Hosokawa Masayoshi, sensing the turbulent atmosphere of the Bakumatsu era. The blade is signed with a detailed inscription indicating it was made in Ansei 4 (1857).
