This Wakizashi, or short sword, was made by the renowned Japanese swordsmith Sadakuni during his lifetime (1584-1634). The blade, dating from 1550-1900, is characterized by its elegant, slightly curved shape. The intricate design on the metal tang near the handle further highlights the craftsmanship of this piece, which is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York.
