Authenticity Guarantee
We stand behind the authenticity of every sword we sell. If a purchased sword is proven to be a forgery, we will refund the full purchase price.
Please note that the following are not covered by this guarantee:
- Swords sold with official expert appraisal certificates (NBTHK / NTHK) that are subsequently disputed by a different appraiser
- Swords sold without appraisal certificates
- Consignment items
- Sword fittings and accessories (tsuba, menuki, kozuka, etc.)
- Swords listed as "for iaido practice" or items sold via auction
Ordering
- All orders must be placed through the contact form on this website.
- Upon order confirmation, the item will be reserved for 7 days. If payment is not received within this period, the order will be automatically cancelled.
- All prices are final. We do not offer discounts.
- Once deregistration of the sword has commenced, cancellations cannot be accepted.
- Each item in our collection is one of a kind. We recommend ordering promptly to avoid disappointment.
Export & Shipping
- All swords are registered with Japan's Agency for Cultural Affairs (文化庁). Export requires an official Export Inspection Certificate and the return of the registration document — a process that takes approximately one month.
- After the export permit is obtained, items are shipped via insured EMS or UPS to your specified address.
- All listed prices are inclusive of shipping and insurance. There are no additional charges.
- Insurance is calculated at 1/1,000 of the purchase price, up to a maximum insured value of ¥2,000,000.
- We are not responsible for issues arising from customs regulations, local laws, or natural disasters in the destination country. Please verify your country's import regulations before ordering.
Returns & Cancellations
Due to Japanese law, unregistered swords cannot be stored in Japan. As a result, we are unable to offer a cooling-off period, returns, or refunds once the deregistration process has begun. We appreciate your understanding.
Privacy
All personal information provided during the purchase process is handled with strict confidentiality and will not be used for any purpose other than fulfilling your order.
