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.

Esta katana, atribuida a la escuela Fujiwara Takada de la provincia de Bungo (actual prefectura de Oita), representa el epítome de la fabricación práctica de espadas del período Edo temprano. Aunque no está firmada (mumei), la espada ha sido tasada y certificada como perteneciente a la escuela Takada, un linaje reconocido por producir hojas fuertes y duraderas frecuentemente utilizadas por samuráis en batalla.

Especificaciones:

  • Firma: Mumei (sin firmar)
  • Tasación: Fujiwara Takada
  • Longitud de la hoja: 63,1 cm
  • Curvatura (Sori): 0,4 cm
  • Ancho en la base (Motohaba): 3,00 cm
  • Espesor en la base (Motokasane): 0,7 cm
  • Ancho en la punta (Sakihaba): 2,20 cm
  • Espesor en la punta (Sakikasane): 0,53 cm
  • Peso (solo hoja): 640 g

Características de la hoja:

La hoja presenta una longitud de 63,1 cm, lo que la clasifica como katana, aunque su menor longitud y curvatura poco profunda (0,4 cm) presentan algunas similitudes con espadas tachi. El sori poco profundo es ideal para cortes rápidos y controlados. El ancho en la base (motohaba) de 3,00 cm y el espesor (motokasane) de 0,7 cm se estrechan suavemente hacia la punta, dando a la hoja un filo delgado pero fuerte. El peso de la hoja de 640 g asegura que sea lo suficientemente ligera para movimientos rápidos pero lo suficientemente resistente para un uso efectivo en combate.

Trasfondo del herrero y la escuela:

La escuela Takada fue fundada por Takada Tomoyuki en el pueblo de Takada durante el período Nanbokucho (1334-1338). Esta escuela era conocida por sus hojas prácticas, con un fuerte énfasis en funcionalidad y durabilidad. Las espadas de esta escuela eran muy buscadas por señores feudales en Kyushu, especialmente durante el período Sengoku cuando la demanda de espadas fuertes y listas para batalla era alta.

Con acceso a materiales de alta calidad como arena de hierro y carbón de las proximidades del Monte Sobo Katamuki, la escuela Takada prosperó, produciendo hojas confiables que eran comparables a las famosas espadas Bizen y Mino. Esta hoja, atribuida al período Edo, se erige como un testimonio del legado duradero de la escuela Takada.
