Iai-do sword, Minozaka-made, purchased for approx. ¥80,000, beautiful condition, all accessories included.

Thank you for viewing!

This is an iaito that was purchased new for approximately 80,000 yen from Shinobiya.

I purchased it for display purposes, but it was slightly different from what I had imagined, so I am selling it.

This sword has a calm atmosphere, combining a Tōran style hamon (temper line) and a wave-motif tsuba (handguard) with a dark indigo tsuka-maki (handle wrap) and sageo (cord).

It can be enjoyed for display, and you can also feel its balance when you hold it.

It has only been drawn a few times indoors and has not been used in actual combat.

- Condition

There are minor scuffs on the saya that are only visible when the light hits them at a certain angle. (See the 16th photo)

- There are minor scuffs near the hamon on the blade, which can be seen when held up to the light. (They do not catch when touched.)
- These were present from the initial inspection.

Other than that, there are no noticeable scratches, dents, or looseness. The condition of the fittings and the balance are excellent.

This is an alloy iaito (replica sword) and not a real sword.
