In-stock Musashi - Ronin Koshirae Iaito 2.45 standard blade

The life of a ronin would be rugged, stoic, and paved with resilience. Miyamoto Musashi, the quintessential avatar for ronin in Japan, was an easy choice to make for creating a hommage iaito. Simple, practical, and made for day-in and day-out keiko, this koshirae was specifically designed here in Kyoto. 

This iaito features the easily recognizable "Musashi" tsuba, the design of which is attributed to Musashi himself. It is said to represent two interlocking circles; a possible link to his school, Niten Ichi-ryu. Generally darker less reflective color fittings have been selected for everything from the seppa and habaki, all the way to the fuchi/kashira and saya. Only subtle gold accents break the darker tones and help to tie each part of this beautiful koshirae together.
