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.

Presentamos un magnífico tanto del reconocido maestro Uda Kunitsugu. Una pieza pristina, esta hoja también cuenta con una ranura distintiva (hi) que realza aún más su belleza. Kunitsugu es un maestro artesano bien reconocido de la escuela Uda, famosamente conocido como descendiente de Kunifusa. Esta espada encarna la artesanía refinada y la habilidad del Japón durante el período Muromachi.

Acerca de Kunitsugu: La escuela Uda tiene sus orígenes en Kunimitsu y floreció durante el período Nanboku-chō con maestros de espadas como Kunifusa, Kunimune y Kunitsugu, extendiendo su influencia hacia el período Muromachi. Según las inscripciones, Kunitsugu fue el hermano menor de Kunimitsu. Históricamente, las espadas del Kunitsugu temprano, que se remontan a la era Embun, son hallazgos raros. Se cree que esta hoja en particular fue creada por el Kunitsugu que se transmite como hijo de Kunifusa, y según sus inscripciones, es una de las obras conocidas más antiguas de alrededor del período Eikyō (circa 1429).
