Hello Friends of the Nihonto Community! I'd like to share something with everyone today. I absolutely in love with the world of Nihonto. I believe that alot of you can relate, that it is addicting. Although I am no scholar or expert, I enjoy learning and reading and collecting and learning new things about everything Nihonto related. I've read and heard that in Japan that the culture and the craftsmen are struggling and have heard many of them say that they would hope that more people, in and out of Japan to become more aware, and learn about Nihonto. After contemplating, I decided that I wanted to help as well as just share my passion with as many people who would be willing to listen. Anyways, I started a website/blog called Nihontoculture. Very lucky to get such a cool domain, hehe. My goal with this website is to just share, write, educate on anything Nihonto related. I was partly inspired by Paul Martin, who has been promoting the world of Japanese swords to outside of Japan for years. He has helped me with many of my commission orders as well as many other purchases and services Nihonto related, as well as educating me on the cultures of Nihonto. I hope that it will be an entertaining read for seasoned nihonto people, and hope that it might interest new people into the world of Japanese swords. The site has been lived for about a week, but I hadn't announced it to the community yet as there wasn't much content on there. But I recently posted a post that documented my Nihonto Japan holiday back in Nov 2022 which I hope that you guys might find interesting or an entertaining read. please go check it out at www.nihontoculture.com and if you'd like you can follow on instagram @nihontoculture I hope this is ok to promote it here on the forums. Thank you.

This Daisho has now been SOLD!**

Ok, This listing is now OPEN again. I am unfortunately unable to ship this blade overseas atm as it is too long. Apparently the shipping companies that handles swords are only able to ship if the package is no longer than 105cm. And this sword itself is 110cm. I unforunately had to refund to an initial buyer. This blade is currently still up for sale but at the moment I can only sell it Domestically within Australia.

Dropping asking Price to 67,000.00 AUD OBO! thank you for your consideration

This listing has now been SOLD! Thank you everyone.

Hi Charles, In USD, it would be about 5000.00 USD. Would you be willing to cover shipping? From memory I believe Shipping and insurance would be about 150 USD on top. Yes Paypal is accepted and it is safer for you as a Purchaser, however Paypal will include a 3% fee on top of the total price if you are ok with this. Otherwise, the other option would be a bank transfer in which you save the 3% fee but you would have to trust me as a seller otherwise you woudn't be protected. I hope this helps, please do not hesitate to contact me for any other questions.

Dropping Price down to 7,500.00 AUD!

Hello friends of the Nihonto Community. After some serious consideration once more. I have decided to list my Ono Yoshimitsu Daisho for sale once more. I listed it once during christmas and changed my mind afterwards. But ultimately, I have decided to let these move out of my collection to make room for others in the future. I originally bought these from Darcy Brockbank who listed these as a consignment for once of his clients. This was an custom ordered Daisho by the Mukansa smith (he's a genius) Ono Yoshimitsu. Grab it before I change my mind again haha. All the details are in these write up by the late Darcy Brockbank. In my opinion, that man wrote and displayed one of the best sword dealing websites I have ever seen. Reading his write-ups was one of the most enjoying past time for me. I would spend hours on his website. He has described these blades perfectly. Asking Price 74,500 AUD ONO.
