Specifications

Traditional Japanese Craftsmanship

Every MinoSaka iaito is handcrafted in Japan by experienced sword artisans who carry on generations of traditional sword-making techniques.

Rather than producing decorative replicas, MinoSaka focuses on creating well-balanced practice swords suitable for serious Iaido practitioners while preserving the aesthetics and traditions of classical Japanese swords.

Each sword is carefully assembled, polished, and finished by experienced artisans to achieve exceptional precision, balance, and durability.

Designed for Iaido

The blade is manufactured using a high-strength cast alloy, providing excellent durability while maintaining the proper weight and balance required for Iaido kata.

Its carefully engineered construction delivers the balance and responsiveness expected by Iaido practitioners while eliminating the maintenance and practical considerations associated with a live blade.

This authentic Japanese iaito is intended exclusively for Iaido practice, martial arts training, and display purposes.

Included

• Kiku Ichimonji Norimune Iaito
