Overall length 41cm. Auctioneers Note - Ken tanto were usually made for presentation by swordsmiths to Buddhist temples for ritual, hence the multiple Buddhist references on the blade and mounts in this example. The art of forging blades is strongly linked to Buddhism. Umetada Myoju (1560 - 1634) showed the genius of the Momoyama age. Not only was he a great tsuba maker but he was a fine swordsmith and a renowned judge of swords. The Umetada school he founded was based in Kyoto though other branches of his school were subsequently founded in other regions. no apparent damage or restoration to the koshirae. as imaged there is light discolouration to the exposed polished part of the blade tand rust to the hidden non-polished tang We are confident that this is not a Meiji period fake. However, it may have been made by a later generation of the Umetada School using his founders name, rather than his own. There are no authentification papers from NBTHK with this blade
