  2. Hello Everyone! I hope everyone is doing well. I once again have another Shinsakuto for Sale. This time its a real treat. Here is a Mukansa Swordsmith Kanekuni Ogawa (son) - Ogawa Mitsutoshi This is Signature works of his - he is known for making Sukehiro utsushimono and for creating the real Sakabato from Ruronin Kenshin. For those who don't know, Sukehiro was the pioneer of this magnificent Toranba (Surging Waves) Hamon. Is it not the most magnificent hamon you've ever seen? There are currently only Kanekuni Ogawa and So Masachika who are focused on creating modern Sukehiro Utsushimono. And if you ask me, Kanekuni Ogawa is superior.

There are no flaws on this blade. The Jigane and Hamon are spectacular. I have attached a few videos to try and capture it for you. The Blade comes with a Modern Koshirae with Modern fittings and a Shirasaya. No Tsunagi. Please feel free to PM for more pics or more information. Asking price 18,500.00 AUD / 12,000.00 USD Shipping available to countries where Nihonto are allowed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgaUba0aSWQ Here is a video of him featured on Touken World Youtube. I have attached a few pictures of his signature works as well as his Bio page from the various different books I have that feature him and his works. Please enjoy.

  4. Hello Friends of the Nihonto Community! I'd like to share something with everyone today. I absolutely in love with the world of Nihonto. I believe that alot of you can relate, that it is addicting. Although I am no scholar or expert, I enjoy learning and reading and collecting and learning new things about everything Nihonto related. I've read and heard that in Japan that the culture and the craftsmen are struggling and have heard many of them say that they would hope that more people, in and out of Japan to become more aware, and learn about Nihonto. After contemplating, I decided that I wanted to help as well as just share my passion with as many people who would be willing to listen. Anyways, I started a website/blog called Nihontoculture. Very lucky to get such a cool domain, hehe. My goal with this website is to just share, write, educate on anything Nihonto related. I was partly inspired by Paul Martin, who has been promoting the world of Japanese swords to outside of Japan for years. He has helped me with many of my commission orders as well as many other purchases and services Nihonto related, as well as educating me on the cultures of Nihonto. I hope that it will be an entertaining read for seasoned nihonto people, and hope that it might interest new people into the world of Japanese swords. The site has been lived for about a week, but I hadn't announced it to the community yet as there wasn't much content on there. But I recently posted a post that documented my Nihonto Japan holiday back in Nov 2022 which I hope that you guys might find interesting or an entertaining read. please go check it out at www.nihontoculture.com and if you'd like you can follow on instagram @nihontoculture I hope this is ok to promote it here on the forums. Thank you.
  5. Ok, This listing is now OPEN again. I am unfortunately unable to ship this blade overseas atm as it is too long. Apparently the shipping companies that handles swords are only able to ship if the package is no longer than 105cm. And this sword itself is 110cm. I unforunately had to refund to an initial buyer. This blade is currently still up for sale but at the moment I can only sell it Domestically within Australia.
