Bamboo Themed Tsuba Iaito

[CAESAR]

I have iaito with exactly same design as in the picture but I can't find it in the internet. I mean, I find the same design but mine is different, the blade itself doesn't have any bo-hi and hamon, it also just like normal blade but habaki have different design, thats why I can't find it online. Anyone can help maybe? I want to know this kind of iaito is made in Japan or not. I also assume that my iaito is already more than 8 years old, I buy it online from Kendo community in Indonesia who have this kind of iaito which is they got it from their friend who came from Japan and tell them to sell this iaito because he doesn't need this iaito, he got from his friend in Japan lately who gave him this brand new iaito.

Men some laito are made in Japan yes. But longer the story longer manufacture chain. You tried google search photo? How much uou paied for it?

What you are asking about is a modern martial arts tool, not a nihonto. You can find expertise on iaito, shinken, and other newly made swords here.

About $300-$400 dollar, precisely around 5.500.000 Indonesian Rupiahs, I got this from kendo community in Indonesia because this Iaito is not used by them.

Resembles the style of  Mogi-To that Meirin Sangyo sold in the 1980's.
