Katana - Tamahagane - Japan

【Summary】 This sword embodies a uniquely Japanese sense of artistry: not extravagant in color or decoration, but powerful in form and spirit. With its long and wide blade paired with a calm, black koshirae, it expresses the ideals of understated strength and natural beauty, making it a highly recommended piece for collectors who appreciate the essence of Japanese craftsmanship. 【About This KATANA】 This katana presents an impressive balance of size, presence, and understated beauty—an outstanding piece for both appreciation and collection. Impressive Length: With a cutting edge measuring approximately 66 cm, the blade offers an elongated form that immediately commands attention. Wide and Powerful Shape: The ample width of the blade adds to its bold presence, evoking strength and authority. Attractive Hamon: The beautifully undulating midareba hamon enhances its aesthetic appeal, making it especially suitable for viewing and appreciation under light. Well-Preserved Condition: Despite its age (Late Edo period), the blade has been carefully preserved, maintaining a clean surface that highlights both the jigane and the hamon. 【Condition/size】 The blade is in very good condition. The Jigane and Hamon are beautifully crafted, and the details can be appreciated clearly in the photos. Koshirae Full length: 104.7cm Total Length : 85.8cm Blade length: 66cm Motohaba : 3.2cm Motokasane : 0.7cm Weight : 0.8kg Sori: 1.68cm 【Koshirae】 This traditional black koshirae enhances the sword’s natural beauty and creates a harmonious overall impression. The menuki, fuchi-kashira, and tsuba all share a unified theme, resulting in a harmonious and refined koshirae.

To export, we need to obtain an export permit from the Agency for Cultural Affairs. It takes about 25 business days from the time the buyer makes payment to the time the transportation process begins.
