In the Service of the Shogun - 1403

Description

This sword, recently added to the collection, fulfills the collector’s long-standing goal of acquiring a blade from the Shogun’s court. Purchased through special connections in Japan and cleared after months of customs and permits, it showcases not only high craftsmanship but also aristocratic prestige. Every detail—from the gold-inlaid minuki to the symbolic torii gate carvings—declares the owner's noble status. The blade itself is exquisitely polished, with a midare hamon and perfect balance, reflecting the peak of samurai artistry. Named "In the Service of the Shogun," it honors its historical roots with grace and power.
