Japanese Swords, Fittings and Related Items
The Japanese sword (nihontō, 日本刀) has been called "the soul of the Samurai". It is both a beautiful work of art and a collectible, historical edged weapon. Katana (long swords), wakizashi (short swords), and tanto (daggers) from the Muromachi, Edo, and later periods are offered for sale, as are sword accessories including tsuba, menuki, fuchi-kashira, and katana-kake.
