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.

Un refinado katana gendaitō firmado Iwagami Sadahiro. Esta hoja encarna los altos estándares de la forja de espadas japonesas de posguerra, forjada de acuerdo con técnicas tradicionales utilizando acero tamahagane y temple en agua.

Con una medida de 67,1 cm y un suave sori de 0,8 cm, la espada presenta un perfil equilibrado y elegante. La construcción shinogi-zukuri con bo-hi mejora tanto su línea estética como la facilidad de manejo, haciéndola ligera pero firme en la mano. El hamon es un patrón grácil notare a gunome, revelando ondulaciones suaves y un nioi-guchi delicado. Bajo luz cuidadosa, la superficie muestra un jihada itame sutil típico de gendaitō bien forjado.

La espada viene acompañada de un koshirae completo de un atractivo estético notable: la saya presenta un elegante patrón de laca espiral en tonos alternados de negro y plata, atada con un sageo verde. El tsuba es una forma rústica mokkō-gata en hierro, emparejado con fuchi-gashira decorado con motivos florales dorados y menuki de tema coincidente. El tsuka está envuelto en apretado ito de seda negra sobre samegawa blanco, combinando sofisticación discreta con solidez funcional.

Esta espada captura la dedicación y artesanía de los herreros regionales de la era Shōwa, combinando la forja tradicional con la artesanía moderna. Para coleccionistas que buscan una auténtica espada japonesa legalmente registrada con montajes completos y de buen gusto, esta pieza de Iwagami Sadahiro representa tanto patrimonio cultural como refinamiento estético.
