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.
Customer Reviews
The sword is awesome. The weight and balance are amazing to me as a beginner. Tozando has excellent communication skills from beginning to end.
Well made and my son, who just taken up the sword, absolutely loves it. Took a little long to get it, but that's what comes from having something custom made .
Truly a beautiful sword! I was so happy to receive it, as it took about 2 months order to arrival from Japan to the states. I love all the details on the tsuka and tsuba, especially the dragon. Great sound when I swing it, sturdy but light. It will be a great sword to begin my Iaido journey! Thank you!
Genbu - Toryumon V2 Koshirae Iaito
This is my first Iaito and my first order from Tozando International. It will definitely not be my last order or purchase when I am in Kyoto next year.
The Tozando Team guided me perfectly on my way to ordering a complete set of equipment for Iaido, answering and resolving all questions and doubts quickly and clearly.
The entire order was ready for dispatch on time for the specified completion date and was delivered to the Canary Islands very quickly.
The Iaito was perfectly and professionally packed. It arrived well wrapped in bubble film in two solid cardboard boxes placed one inside the other.
The Iaito itself was in an elegant purple silk bag.
The workmanship of the Iaito is precise and perfectly crafted in every detail, as the enclosed photos show.
The cotton winding of the tsuka is absolutely firm and immovable. The kashira also sits firmly on the tsuka. The Ryu Sukashi Tsuba I chose looks simply marvellous and is of very good quality. I chose the Ha with a single deep bohi and I think this decision is brilliant, as the sound when cutting is simply marvellous. The Iaito sits firmly in its saya and does not move when shaken. The Iaito is perfectly balanced in the hand and is looking forward to showing its qualities in the dojo.
I will certainly have a lot of fun and success with this Iaito. I am very happy!
Many thanks to the Tozando International Team!
