Tantō sharpened Konohana-no-Sakuya (木花之佐久夜)

Tantō cutting edge with scabbard (saya 鞘) in black lacquered wood, sageo (下緒) black, tsuka-Ito (柄糸) white, supplied with protective fabric cover


Like the katana and wakizashi I accompany, I bear the name of the vital force linked to the blossoming of trees, a symbol of delicate and fragile earthly life, like cherry blossoms. Also known as Sengen-sama, she is the female kami (神, Shinto deity or spirit) of Mount Fuji (富士山 Fujisan), Japan's highest mountain. Located at its summit, the Fujisan Hongū Sengen-taisha shrine (富士山本宮浅間大社) is dedicated to it.
I was forged in a cave on the Sacred Mountain. Heated by the fire of the Earth, cooled by the icy waters coming from the white cap that covers it, worked by a master blacksmith who remained discreet, I served several masters of arms, samurai and rōnins(浪人), without a master. My new mount recalls my birth: black for the depths of the Earth and white for winter snow. This combination of white and black also recalls my vocation to distinguish and separate the pure from the impure.

"Shintō, the source of the Japanese spirit", Emiko Kieffer


Shintō is the ancestral religion of Japan. It is the Way, the kami, which has no founder, doctrine, sacred text or dogma. It is that great invisible force that runs through the history of the Archipelago from antiquity to the present day, and is the source of the spirit of the Japanese people. "We owe them gratitude, honor and respectful awe". In this book, Emiko Kieffer presents the many manifestations of shintō that permeate everyday life in Japan: the omnipresence of the kami, respect for nature and objects, rituals and festivals, shrines, morals, behavior... In this way, she makes us feel what lies at the heart of Japanese culture and people, and what has always questioned the West.

In principle, they may not be carried or transported without legitimate reason. If transported, the weapon must not be "directly" usable. It must be securely packed in a case or container, preferably with a padlock or other protective system.
