This extremely finely forged tanto is accompanied by a koshirae with a high class lacquer finish featuring a floral motif. All fittings are made of solid silver and continue the chrysanthemum motif. The winding is made of whalebone which is partially braided. Since the koshirae, like the tanto itself, comes from the Edo period, it shows minor signs of aging. The tanto, meanwhile, is flawless and has an excellent polish.
