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.

    La katana presenta un diseño shinogi-zukuri con un iori-mune, proporcionando durabilidad y precisión. Los bohi corren a lo largo de ambos lados, reduciendo peso mientras mantienen la resistencia. El hamon es un patrón de base recta con ondulaciones suaves, incorporando gunome de estilo choji pequeño, ashi (líneas de temple descendentes), y yubashiri (efectos tipo niebla). El grano de acero (ko-itame hada) está finamente forjado, asegurando una textura consistente y refinada.

    Sobre el Herrador - Kanehisa

    Forjada por el renombrado herrador Kanehisa. Como herrador designado por el gobierno durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Kanehisa produjo hojas de alta calidad para el Ejército Imperial Japonés mientras mantenía la artesanía tradicional.

    Esta espada en particular fue forjada en la Prefectura de Gifu durante la guerra, donde Kanehisa era conocido por sus obras galardonadas exhibidas en exposiciones militares como la Exposición de Nuevas Obras de Espadas Japonesas.

    A diferencia de las espadas de guerra producidas en masa, esta hoja sigue métodos tradicionales de forja japonesa, convirtiéndola en un auténtico Gendaito, una espada moderna forjada tradicionalmente.

    Los montajes están recientemente elaborados para coincidir con el equilibrio de la hoja. Los herrajes, hechos de shakudo con motivos de flores de cerezo, mejoran la estética tradicional. Las decoraciones de puño shakudo con incrustaciones de oro representan patrones florales, añadiendo refinamiento. El tsuba de hierro presenta un diseño calado con detalles de oro inspirados en la época Heian. La vaina está lacada en negro, ofreciendo durabilidad y una apariencia elegante.
