An authentic Japanese Katana forged during the late Edo period, representing the pinnacle of traditional sword-making before the Meiji Restoration.

It comes housed in its original koshirae settings, including a lacquered saya and iron tsuba with subtle nature motifs. This sword carries the spirit of the samurai class in its final days, offering a tangible connection to feudal Japan. While showing minor signs of age, the blade remains sharp and structurally sound. Ideally suited for display or kenjutsu practitioners who appreciate historical blades.
