Inspired by Okita Soji's Kikuichimonji
The design of this Nikken Japanese letter opener is based on the Kikuichimonji, the sword traditionally associated with Okita Soji, one of the best-known members of the Shinsengumi. The chrysanthemum-shaped tsuba adds an instantly recognizable Japanese sword detail to the design.
Rather than being simply a conventional letter opener, this piece is designed to capture the visual character of a traditional Japanese sword in a compact desk accessory.
Made in Seki, Japan
Crafted in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, a town with a long-established tradition of Japanese blade craftsmanship, this letter opener reflects the area's connection to sword-making and metalworking.
The included saya and display stand allow the letter opener to be safely stored and attractively displayed when not in use, making it an excellent choice for a Japanese-themed desk, office, or collection.
Important Note
This product is a letter opener and decorative desk accessory, not a functional Japanese sword or iaito. It is intended for opening letters and for display.
