The Tanto Golden Flower features exceptionally beautiful elements adorned with golden cherry blossoms (sakura). The cherry blossom is one of the most important symbols of Japanese culture. It signifies beauty, departure and the transience of life. The Tanto has a hand-forged blade made from carbon steel with a fine hamon and was traditionally hardened. Furthermore, the blade steel was folded 12 times, which means approximately 8,000 layers were created, giving the sword a beautiful damascene pattern. The sharp blade is equipped with a hi (fuller) to reduce overall weight. The tsuba displays Japanese gods. The handle (tsuka) is made from wood, wrapped in genuine ray skin and contains two menukis. Furthermore, it was traditionally wrapped in black cotton. The tang is particularly long and secured with two bamboo pegs (mekugi). The scabbard (saya) is made from wood and the blade collar (habaki) is made from brass. This katana was made according to original museum displays. The sword comes with a certificate of origin, wrapped in cloth and packaged in a high-quality wooden box. All measurements are subject to estimate.
