Specifications

Traditional Japanese Dragon Design

The dragon is a powerful and enduring symbol in Japanese art and culture. Traditionally associated with strength, wisdom, protection, and the forces of nature, dragons have appeared throughout Japanese paintings, textiles, Buddhist imagery, and decorative arts for centuries.

This Minosaka iaito incorporates the distinctive character of the dragon into a traditional Japanese sword design, making it an especially striking choice for practitioners who want an iaito with a bold and symbolic appearance.

Minosaka Japanese Sword Craftsmanship

Minosaka was established in 1919 in Japan's historic Mino region, an area with a long history of traditional sword production. Building on this heritage, Minosaka specializes in iaito for Japanese martial arts as well as other forms of traditional sword craftsmanship.

Each iaito is carefully produced in Japan with attention to its construction, appearance, balance, and handling characteristics. The result is a practice sword that combines traditional Japanese sword aesthetics with the requirements of modern Iaido practitioners.

Designed for Iaido

An iaito is a Japanese practice sword designed specifically for training in Iaido, the martial art centered around the controlled drawing, handling, and resheathing of the sword.

This model uses a reinforced hard-alloy blade and is intended for Iaido practice and martial arts training. Its construction provides the appropriate characteristics for controlled practice without the use of a sharpened cutting edge.

Important: This is a practice sword, but the hard-alloy blade can still cause injury. Do not use it to strike people or objects. Do not disassemble, modify, or adjust the sword yourself. Because this is a handmade product incorporating natural wood, individual swords may vary slightly in size and weight.
