Genbu - Toryumon V2 Koshirae Iaito
Upgraded with beautiful copper fittings, the V2 is an alternative design to the classic Toryumon Koshirae, making the most of our workshops wide-range of high-quality fittings.
The phrase "toryumon" describes a climbing dragon, reaching up to a gate - it refers to the path we must all take to improve ourselves and rise to the next challenge. It is with this attitude in mind, that we hope iaidoka of all levels will use the toryumon to achieve their goals in their keiko.
Comes as standard with black cotton tsuka ito and sageo, copper bamboo themed menuki, fuchi and kashira. You can choose the tsuba that compliments your tastes. The suguha hamon creates a refined straight line down the length of the blade. The blade is made from a zinc/aluminium alloy that is sand-cast and bubble free. Each Toryumon is made by our workshop in Gifu Prefecture by hand.
*Iaito are made with an aluminum zinc alloy blade and cannot be sharpened.
It is a great iaito for the continuous practice of iaido. Thanks
Very solid construction, has the right amount of weight to be manageable but also feels strong on cuts. Would highly recommend as a long term iaito
Thanks for the excellent service and quality!
I am a beginner and this is the perfect sword for me, it's lightweight and the grip is perfect - The international delivery was quicker than I expected and arrived with absolutely no damage or scratches
I saved up for a minute to get this; as I am a college student with little income. However, I was happy to place the order. It came in 3 weeks early, and with some customs delays I finally received it.
It's stunning, truly! The handiwork on the tsuba and tsuka are amazing for this price range and the blade itself is breathtaking. I've always been a fan of Japanese swords, so when I started Iaido a while back and eventually ended up placing this order I was anxious.
The weight and size feels absolute perfect for me, and the deep bohi gives the most satisfying sound when I swing it. Thank you so much, Tozando!
