Mcusta Aoi Tokugawa Mon Crest Japan Damascus Liner Lock Knife Damascus Steel

Mcusta Aoi Tokugawa Mon Crest Japan Damascus Liner Lock Knife Damascus Steel

$ 99.95

The designer cleverly combined the family emblems of historical figures from the Warring States Period.

The family crest (family crest; ろパモ) "Aoi" engraved on this wallet knife comes from the Tokugawa family.

The well-known figure Tokugawa Ieyasu was the first king (general conqueror) of Japan's Tokugawa Dynasty (Edo Shogunate). During Japan's Warring States Period, he defeated all the heroes and created a long-term regime that lasted for more than 260 years.

The Tokugawa's clan symbol, known in Japanese as a Mon (emblem), the "triple hollyhock" (although commonly, but mistakenly identified as "hollyhock", the "aoi" actually belongs to the
birthwort family and translates as "Wild ginger" (Asarum), has been a readily recognized icon in Japan, symbolizing in equal parts the Tokugawa clan and the last shogunate.
