This sword design was first developed by the master swordsmith Dotanuki Kunikatsu. Made to slice through its target with a single cut, a sword of Dotanuki design is characterized by its thicker and heavier blade. Once a favorite weapon of Japan's feudal warlords, or Daimyo, this sword design was considered to be the apex of military dynamism and power. In fact, in honor of this great smithing achievement, one Daimyo, Kato Kiyomasa, gave Kunikatsu part of his own name as an accolade. Thereafter, Kunikatsu became know as Masakuni, and swords of the Dotanuki Masakuni design were forever guaranteed a place in the halls of Japan's long history. In reproducting this famous sword we have remained true to Dotanuki's most characteristic trademarks: the elegance of simplicity, dynamism and power.
A sliver-plated brass Fuchi/Kashira features a theme of stones and a cotton
Tsuka cord is securely wrapped over sharkskins. Saya is lacquered in the
Dotanuki's favorite Nuriwake(black gloss finish with part matte finish).
The blade is available up to 2.70 Shaku. Weighes approximately 1080 g for
2.50 Shaku without the Saya.
Each Iaito sword from Nishijin Sword features a flex resistant and well-balanced
blade made of zinc/belylium alloy, which, as the result, can provides the
breathtaking feeling as much as you could get with the Shinken practice.
Proudly hand-crafted by Japanese swordsmiths in Japan. Because each of
your order is made to order, please allow three to four weeks for the production.
Nishijin Sword Price: $513.00
