Nihonto Otaku Posted September 28, 2020 Report Posted September 28, 2020 I am interested in buying a good sword stand for two big Katana/Tachi with drawer in the bottom to store the tools for sword cleaning. My budget is around $210 including shipping and insurance.
Curran Posted September 29, 2020 Report Posted September 29, 2020 Just a general aid link: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/search/search?p=刀掛け&va=刀掛け&exflg=1&b=1&n=100&s1=bids&o1=a&mode=1 Click on it every week or two and follow what auctions you'd like to get a good pricing guide. Sometimes a good one comes up for sale, though may cost more than $210. I picked up mine this way. Signed and dated 1754 from a carpenter shop in Japan, and yes it has a drawer with original hardware.

I was hoping to get one from someone living in the US since international mailing is not in the best situation right now due to COVID.
Curran Posted October 1, 2020 Report Posted October 1, 2020 Yes, I figured as much. I am refraining from posting much on NMB, and hesitated to reply. Yet I did on this one. I had the link as one I sometimes search. My logic is that you can see what you like in Japan, take a screen shot and post it here, and see if someone can decently meet your needs. OR there is sea-mail. Slow, but it works. If you aren't too picky and mean nearly any beater tansu with a drawer able to support two heavier swords, then maybe you will have some luck here. Otherwise your best bet is trawling through eBay on a regular basis. My intent is to help clarify your request. I hope you find what you are seeking.

Your information is very helpful. 😀 5 hours ago, Jean said: https://www.aoijapan.com/swordtachi-stand-for-three/ one hundred thousands yen though. That is basically 1000 USD. It looks really nice though. If the quickest/best way to get a good sword stand with drawer is still by ordering from Japan, I will just go with this one from this website: http://www16.plala.or.jp/katana-iimura/hikidasitsuki.html This website and company is managed by the family of Mr. Iimura, the author of Touken Youran and those huge Koto, Shinto and Shinshinto Taikan books.

That's an amazing stand with incredible decoration. 98,000 Japanese Yen for the final price though. Auction for it has ended with zero bidding. 😂
