USA SHIPPING ⚠️ From 9 oct. 2025

Order, Japan Post (EMS) has temporarily suspended all commercial deliveries to the United States.

As a result, we are now shipping through alternative private carriers. Unfortunately, these services are considerably more expensive. Therefore, we kindly ask our U.S. customers to contribute a portion of the shipping cost — $200 per order.

Please note that delivery times will also be longer, as we must obtain a custom shipping quote from the carrier for each sword. We currently estimate a 3–4 month delivery window.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued support during this time.

Este katana es suguha. La hoja exhibe una curvatura audaz y elegante, con un filo afilado como una navaja, mostrando el dominio de Okimitsu en la metalurgia japonesa tradicional.

Este es un katana raro, forjado tradicionalmente por Okimitsu, un herrador japonés muy hábil de Nishinoshima, distrito de Oki, prefectura de Shimane. Hecho en septiembre de 1942 (Shōwa 17), esta espada no es un Guntō militar producido en masa, sino más bien un Gendaitō, elaborado utilizando técnicas tradicionales de herrería japonesa.

Acerca del herrador - Okimitsu

El creador de esta hoja, Okimitsu, fue un herrador designado por el gobierno durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Su nombre real era Hara Hiroshi, y fue un maestro artesano de renombre. Sus logros incluyen:

  • Múltiples premios de la Asociación de Fomento Técnico de Herradería del Ejército
  • Reconocimiento como miembro del Instituto Nacional de Herradores.
  • Ostentar el título honorífico de Shōshō, que lo marca como uno de los mejores herradores de su época.
  • Aprendizaje bajo Hara Kakutarō, el Okimitsu de primera generación.

A pesar de haber sido hecho durante la guerra, este katana sigue técnicas de forja tradicionales, asegurando su calidad superior en comparación con las espadas militares estándar de la época.
