KATANA

The Japanese sword has always been considered a work of art and blades have been  treasured and transmitted among generations to the present days in excellent state of preservation.

We specialize on high-end nihontō ("Japanese Swords"), which have always been regarded as such and are so valued by all of the owners. The price of a Japanese sword can vary substantially, and we choose to focus on really good items and masterpieces at our gallery.
