Tanto By Yasuryusai Sokan
This very nice on sweet mounted tanto is signed Yasuryusai Sokan Hori Do Saku. It is dated Bun Kyu 2 3rd Month (March of 1863). It has very nice dragon horimono on one side and Gama hashi with bonji at the top and tsume at the bottom. The tanto also has mitsu mune and nice gold foil habaki. The lacquer saya is almost perfect with all matching silver inlayed iron fittings. The fuchi Koshira are also matching silver boarder iron. The menuki look to be goto shishi. Sokan was the top student and horimono carver for Koyama Munetsugu.
