Japanese swords

If you have done so, you have surely understood what you can expect from us and what you certainly cannot. We will not gamble with your precious time on the subject of decorations, replicas, sports equipment and certainly not online sales of various illegal imitations or damaged swords. We really want nothing to do with it. On the contrary, we want to talk to you about your ideas and our possibilities. What exactly does that mean?

We will sit together in a pleasant undisturbed environment, where with a glass of sake or delicious Japanese tea, you will tell us what you are interested in. You don't have to be too specific. A basic idea is enough. It can be a piece of Japan embodied in an authentic smaller sword in basic design (shirasaya), something more challenging in an extended range (koshirae), or even an investment item. And what about us?

We can provide you with a complete service. The sword category of your choice from one of the most respected masters with a guarantee of origin. Total logistics to your home. If you wish, we can organize a visit of a master, live demonstrations of tamahagane forging, a stay in a traditional hotel, a lecture on Japanese swords for your guests, a ceremonial handing over of the sword during the lecture, instruction on operation and maintenance, and much more according to wishes and possibilities.

The availability of authentic Japanese swords is of course complicated and dynamically changing. The master's work depends on many variables such as the availability of tamahagane and historical accessories, the development of orders and of course the free capacities of his personal collaborators (polisher, grinder, saya maker, maki-e master). If the situation is favorable, in addition to a specific order, the master also works on swords without an assignment. He develops them to a certain stage and finalizes them only at the request of the future buyer. Some he completes completely and submits the most suitable candidate to the competition for the most perfect authentic sword in Japan. In 2018, his katana received the highest award and served as an exhibition piece at various events in the field for two years. It was subsequently displayed in the Atsuta Jingu shrine.
