Au cœur de la tradition, au milieu du paysage urbain animé de Tokyo , une vision est née - Tokyo Nihonto . En tant que connaisseurs de l'art ancien de l'artisanat Nihonto, nous avons décidé de nous lancer dans un voyage à la source de cette tradition vénérée, pour comprendre et s'imprégner de son authenticité et de son esprit.
Nous avons plongé profondément dans le pays du soleil levant, rencontrant des forgerons passionnés, des collectionneurs dévoués et des partenaires potentiels. Nous avons visité des musées détenant des spécimens vieux de plusieurs siècles, chacun racontant l'histoire d'une époque où le Nihonto était plus qu'une simple arme, c'était un symbole d'honneur et l'âme du samouraï.
En explorant la beauté mystérieuse de ces lames , nous avons été inspirés pour apporter ce savoir-faire de renommée mondiale à un public mondial.
Ainsi, Tokyo Nihonto a été lancé - un mélange exquis de tradition et de modernité, un hommage à l'art du passé et un phare pour l'avenir de l'artisanat Nihonto. Notre voyage au Japon était plus qu'une expédition, c'était la pierre angulaire d'un projet qui incarne l'esprit, l'histoire et l'art du Nihonto.
Tokyo Nihonto, un témoignage du sabre japonais, est né.

About Japanese Sword
How much does a Real Japanese Sword Cost ?
The cost of an authentic Japanese sword can vary widely, depending on several factors. There are various types of traditional Japanese swords, such as the tanto (a short knife), wakizashi (a short sword), and the renowned katana (a long sword). The price range for these swords can start from a few hundred dollars and soar up to more than $50,000 or even higher.
A sword's value is influenced by its quality, the reputation of the swordsmith who crafted it, the presence and authenticity of certificates of provenance, the historical period in which it was made, and other unique attributes. For instance, a sword crafted by a famous swordsmith, accompanied by verifiable certification, and from a notable period in Japanese history will likely command a higher price.
In essence, while there are more affordable options available, a genuine, high-quality Japanese sword can be a significant investment due to its craftsmanship, heritage, and the intricate details associated with its creation.
Can you Buy an Authentic Sword in Japan ?
es, you can purchase an authentic Japanese sword in Japan. The country is renowned for its centuries-old tradition of sword-making, and there are many reputable dealers and craftsmen who offer genuine swords for sale. However, there are important regulations to note:
- Documentation: Every authentic Japanese sword comes with registration papers from the Japanese government, ensuring its authenticity. When purchasing, ensure that these documents are provided, as they certify the sword's legitimacy and historical relevance.
- Exporting: If you plan to take the sword outside of Japan, you'll need to adhere to specific procedures. Also, documentation or undergo an inspection to ensure you're not exporting national treasures.
- Laws & Regulations: Some countries have strict regulations or bans on importing weapons, including swords. Always check your home country's rules about importing swords before making a purchase.
- Reputation: When buying, always choose a reputable dealer or swordsmith to ensure the sword's authenticity. Many renowned craftsmen and shops in Japan specialize in genuine, traditional Japanese swords.
In summary, while you can indeed buy an authentic Japanese sword in Japan, it's crucial to be aware of the regulations in place and to deal with trustworthy sources to guarantee the genuineness of your purchase.
How to know if my Japanese Sword is Real ?
Determining the authenticity of a Japanese sword requires a combination of knowledge, observation, and sometimes, expert opinion. If you're wondering whether your Japanese sword is genuine, consider the following guidelines:
- Certificate: Authentic Japanese swords usually come with certificates that vouch for their legitimacy. Organizations like the NBTHK (Nihon Bijutsu Token Hozon Kyokai) and NTHK (Nihon Token Hozon Kai) are respected entities that issue certificates for genuine Japanese swords. Possession of a certificate from either of these organizations is a strong indicator of the sword's authenticity.
- Craftsmanship: Genuine Japanese swords exhibit meticulous craftsmanship. Examine the blade for fine, consistent grain patterns, known as "hada." The temper line, or "hamon," should be distinct and exquisitely executed.
- Signature: Many authentic swords have the swordsmith's signature, referred to as a "mei," engraved on the tang (the portion of the blade that extends into the handle). Validating this signature can provide insights into the sword's origins and creator.
- Materials: Traditional Japanese swords are fashioned using specialized types of steel, mainly "tamahagane." The blade should have a balanced and substantial feel, not appearing overly light or flimsy.
- Age Indicators: Observable wear patterns, oxidation, and patina can give clues about the sword's age. While age isn't the only determinant of authenticity, genuine older blades often possess specific aging traits that many replicas can't accurately imitate.
- Consult Experts: If you're uncertain, it's best to consult a specialist or expert in Japanese swords. Their expertise and deep knowledge can provide valuable insights, aiding in the confirmation of your sword's authenticity.
- Be Wary of Red Flags: Swords accompanied by exaggerated claims, suspiciously low prices, or devoid of any age indications might be replicas. Also, be cautious of blades that are overly glossy or have etched rather than traditionally crafted hamon.
