Hello from Germany. I realy Love the Design of the Iaito. The Saya, the fittings and the blade look realy stunning. The Iaito came 2 months earlyer than ecxpected and in good condition. The Tsuka has a nice shape and the maki sits"bombenfest" (Bombenfest). that anyone buying knows the Gangimaki Style Tsuka is a bit slimmer than normal maki styles. Not for big hands but nice for feeling ege aligmnent. The bee menuki looks nice and at the time of writing is sitting tight. The Saya looks amazing like I said but there are one or two specks of dust in the laquer ( I know how hard it is to laquer so a solid A from me). The balance of the Iaito is amazing. I Had kinda a problem but I think it sorted itself and a second one I maybe caused by myself so no problem with Tozando. When it arrived the Tsuba made a "klack" sound when puting presure on it for example when sheathing and unsheathing but it got quieter the more I used it. I don't See anything moving so that is probably a good sign. It was nice that the Tozando team helped me look in to the problem and explained what the cause could be, probably just a Habaki needing the seat itself. Second when Iaito arrive in my country the habaki never fits in the Saya. They have a 5cm gap so I need to shim the Saya (could be that that is normal but I am kinda new to Iaito practice) so I don't know If I caused it but the Saya doesn't fit flush with the Tsuba. On one Site flush on the other less than 0,5mm but still noticeble. Both are not a major deal for me and like I said one was probably on me. All in all a realy nice Iaito and I can only recommend it. If you want to be pedantic 4 Stars but I don't want to give the Iaito less stars because of minor inconveniences. Thanks Tozando team
The ocean koi theme and the colors are such a beautiful combination… yes a masterpiece! Tozando is an exceptional place to buy from. Communication and service is fantastic… thank you Tozando!
Very well made and beautifully crafted, as always. Tozando consistently delivers the best products and excellent service. Thank you, Tozando, for another great product and for always maintaining such high standards! 🙏🏻
I recently purchased a Kimono Sleeve Tasuki from Tozando. It may seem like just a simple white silk ribbon, but the quality is excellent, and you can immediately see the care and attention that went into making it.
I was equally impressed by the packaging — elegant, thoughtful, and beautifully presented. Even for such a small item, nothing felt casual or overlooked.
This is something I have always admired about Japanese craftsmanship and service: attention to detail is not reserved only for expensive products. It shows in the smallest things.
A lovely product and a wonderful shopping experience. I’m very happy to support a business that takes such pride in what it does.
Il gi è ottimo per vestire qualcosa che non uccida dal caldo durante gli allenamenti estivi: è molto leggero.
I ricami della decorazione tendono a essere delicati, e non è una cattiva idea abbondare con la scelta della taglia in quanto veste preciso (consideriamo poi che anche se lavati a freddo con i lavaggi ripetuti tendono a stringere un po').
Tozando offre sempre belle cose, e il servizio è ottimo! ;)
