This is an iai-do sword, so it does not have a sharpened edge and cannot cut.
It is a safe martial arts tool that does not require registration or other permits.

This is a top-quality iai-do sword crafted in Seki City, the birthplace of iai-do swords.
It is an extremely rare signed piece, found only on a limited number of iai-do swords from that era, such as the Sōshin-tō from the Bikipack series.
The signature Sekijū Kunimura is boldly engraved.

It can be used without issue for iai-do practice.
It appears to be a meticulously crafted piece from the golden age of iai-do swords, with excellent weight balance and superb construction and fittings. It is comparable to the high-end products from modern manufacturers like Nōshūdō and Minosaka. The style of craftsmanship resembles that of Nihon Antique Gallery, suggesting it may have been produced by a predecessor workshop.
*Due to its excellent balance, it is highly recommended for a wide range of users, from beginners' first sword to advanced practitioners.

The blade has some minor scuff marks and age-related deterioration, but it is in relatively clean condition. The blade, habaki, and seppa are all firm with no looseness, demonstrating excellent rigidity. There is no looseness in the koiguchi (mouth of the saya). The saya shows some signs of use.
Please examine the photos carefully for the overall condition and make your purchase with confidence.

This is a valuable sword that embodies the passion of the Showa era.
Don't miss this opportunity to consider this rare signed iai-do sword.
