Description

This tanto was made by Gassan Sadakazu, an Imperial Art Expert (Teishitsu Gigeiin), in the winter of 1908. It features a hirazukuri, mitsumune form with a length of 18.0cm. The blade has a suken carving on the omote and gomabashi on the ura, with a ko-itame nagare jigane and a suguha-cho hamon mixed with ko-gunome and ko-notare. It comes with a koshirae featuring a paulownia maki-e saya and gosankiri mon menuki, suggesting it was a special order for a person of high status.
