After the Ōnin War broke the Ashikaga order, a century of Sengoku warfare armed nearly every province in Japan. The era rewards a discriminating eye: routine work exists in quantity, and beside it stand custom blades of the first rank.
This is a tanto by Masashige from the late Muromachi period. The blade has a straight temper line, but the details are unclear due to amateur rust removal. It comes with a koshirae featuring dragon designs and auspicious motifs.
