We get it — “free shipping” feels good.
But that’s behavioral psychology at work.
It tricks your brain into thinking you’re saving,
when really, you're just paying in another way.
We don’t play that game.
No fake “free shipping,” no inflated prices, no marketing mind tricks.
Just honest blades, honest pricing.
Maybe it feels unfamiliar — maybe even uncomfortable.
But we believe trust is built on truth, not tactics.



This is Hana Arashi — a traditional Japanese tachi sword mounted in reverse, crafted in the spirit of ceremonial elegance. Hand-forged from folded steel with clay tempering and a visible hamon line, this tachi sword captures the historical essence of samurai prestige.
Configured in tachi mount with the edge facing downward, this blade is designed for traditional waist hanging — a key distinction from katana. The 26 cm tsuka is reversed-mounted, and the crimson lacquered saya reflects high-ranking wear in classical court and parade use.
The blade’s surface is refined using shiage togi polishing techniques, revealing both the folded steel grain and a clear yokote. This fully functional Japanese tachi is both a weapon of ceremony and a collectible object of art.
