Osaka Katana‑za returns to Shiromi Hall inside Osaka Castle! Osaka Katana-za is West Japan’s largest Japanese sword and sword-fittings exhibition and immediate sales event. Held annually in Osaka, it brings together over 40 top dealers, together with sword collectors, and sword professionals from across Japan. Unlike museums, Katana-za is a commercial exhibition, meaning all items on display are available for purchase. It is a rare opportunity to examine high-level Nihontō in person, speak directly with dealers, and handle pieces that seldom appear outside Japan.
