The Hokke school was founded by Kokubunji Sukekuni, a Nichiren monk, whose father is believed to have been a Bizen Ichimonji smith. They are from Bingo province, and were known for making large war swords with suguha hamon and an impressive sugata for the battlefield. They are affiliated with the Mihara school, and forged in a similar Yamato style. This sword comes with TWO KOSHIRAE.

Hi Jake — I’m interested in the Hokke katana. I’m unable to PM you (system says you can’t receive messages). What’s the best way to contact you—email, IG, or Facebook? Thanks, Mike.

Sold- ty!

I had a very positive experience purchasing this Nihonto from Jake. Communication was clear and professional throughout, the sword was exactly as described, and shipping and packaging were excellent and done with care.

I would not hesitate to recommend Jake to fellow collectors looking to buy a Nihonto.
