Features:\u3000This tanto has been authenticated as Mumei (Jumyo) by the Japanese Sword Museum.
\nJumyo was a swordsmith from Mino, said to be the great-grandchild of Gait\u014d.
\nThe first generation is believed to have lived during the late Kamakura period, originally from Yamato Province, later relocating to Mino.
\nSeveral generations followed until around the Tensh\u014d era of the Muromachi period.
\nTheir style reflects the influence of both Yamato and Mino traditions.
\nMost extant works are from the Shinto period and later.
\nDue to the auspicious name \u201cJumyo\u201d (meaning longevity), these swords were often gifted on celebratory occasions.<\/p>\n
