Takahashi Posted December 11, 2011 Report Posted December 11, 2011 Dear NMB members, I just stumbled upon a shinto tanto with an unusual horimono. It looks like an angel was carved onto the blade. Maybe it is just my imagination since Christmas is coming, but have a look for yourself: http://www.e-sword.jp/sale/2011/1110_3034syousai.htm Does anybody know if this kind of horimono was common during the 17th century I am sorry, if the description already says anything about the horimono but my Japanese is still on a very low level. Cheers, Quote

Takahashi Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Posted December 11, 2011 So it was just my imagination, although I think it really resembles an angel. Cheers, Quote
