Japanese Samurai Wakizashi Yoshihara Yoshindo School Traditional Tamahagane Complete Koshirae
Forged in 1998, this outstanding wakizashi originates from the renowned Yoshihara Yoshindo School, whose blades are admired worldwide for their exceptional craftsmanship and artistic excellence.

A remarkable Japanese wakizashi created within the prestigious Yoshihara Yoshindo School, one of the most famous and internationally celebrated names in the world of Japanese swordsmithing.
