Shin-shinto Tanto (fss-679)

 

 

 

 

 

Item description here

This Shinshinto  tanto comes in an original set of koshirae and is in an older polish.  The work on this sword is clean.  It is a narrow hoso-suguha hamon .  The hada is itame and in good shape.  Ji-nie appears.  The style is that of hira-zukuri . The tang is signed and dated with kao. It reads: Ichi Josai Amahide on one side with kao. The other reads: Bunsei Ninen hachi gatsu hi. (A day in August 1819) made age 71.

We do not feel this blade to have a correct signature hence we are pricing to reflect this.

The Koshirae is a beautiful swirling effect gloss black lacquer. The Fuchi/Kashira are of snakes and the Kashira appears to be engraved with this design. There is a Kojiri with cherry bloosum motif and blue sageo.

There is bohi “(gomabashi)  and a sword horimono engraved on the blade.

A gold washed habaki adorns the blade.

The mounts are  splendid.
