Description
This Iai practice sword is manufactured in Gifu Prefecture which has historically been known as the workplace of the Japanese swords. The blade is handmade with the traditional technique of sand casting.
This is a replica sword. It is not real and cannot cut. Also, as it is made of alloy, it cannot be sharpened by yourself.
About Kato Kiyomasa by Dodanuki Masakuni
This sword was crafted by Dodanuki Masakuni, a renowned swordsmith known for making blades for Katō Kiyomasa, a famous samurai from Kumamoto (Kyushu) celebrated for his strength and tactical skill. This piece is modeled after the sword of Katō Kiyomasa.
Because Kiyomasa valued practical designs, Dodanuki Masakuni’s style is very simple. The blade is forged strong enough for battle, and its hamon pattern is straight and understated—a reflection of the samurai’s strength.
This sword should be used not only for Iai practice but also for decoration in your living.
[Note]
This is a modern replica created by a contemporary sword manufacturer, inspired by the legendary sword of Tokugawa Ieyasu.
It is not the original historical blade.
