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.

El hamon (línea de temple) es nítido y afilado, reflejando el tratamiento térmico experto utilizado para endurecer el filo. Este katana ha sido profesionalmente pulido y es completamente funcional para corte, lo que lo hace adecuado para corte de prueba (tameshigiri) y práctica de artes marciales.

La hoja también exhibe una curvatura bien equilibrada de 1,7 cm, mejorando tanto su capacidad de corte como su atractivo estético. El trabajo del acero se describe como Jiba Saeru, lo que significa que tanto el grano como el filo templado están altamente refinados, afilados y visualmente impactantes.

Acerca del Maestro Herrador - Ichiryūshi Nagamitsu

Ichiryūshi Nagamitsu fue un maestro herrador de renombre activo durante la era Taishō a Shōwa. Sirviendo como director de la Penitenciaría de Okayama, estableció una instalación de forja de espadas dentro de la penitenciaría, dedicándose al arte de la fabricación de hojas. Su naturaleza audaz y carismática lo convirtió en una figura muy respetada, cautivando a quienes lo conocieron. A pesar de ser un maestro de una sola generación, produjo numerosas obras excepcionales, demostrando su alto nivel de artesanía. Conocido por crear espadas con agudeza notable, sus hojas ganaron una popularidad significativa, aunque hoy en día existe un número limitado de sus obras. Debido a su rareza, sus espadas son muy buscadas y adquiridas rápidamente cada vez que aparecen.
