From Aoi Art: We guess that his Tanto was made for Marriage tools. It is small size Tanto with gorgeous pattern is drawn on the Koshirae. It was used amoung Samurai as a Kaiken in wedding bridal. In addition, it may be that the feelings of parents who wish as a talisman to protect the bride from disasters when she leaves for a new life with people from other families may have been included. It is a recommended Tanto.
