Swords from Giheya

[Bushidodojoaikido]

Здравейте, момчета. Какво е вашето мнение за катана от Guheya? 100% nihonto ли са? Остри катани ли са? 100% вярна ли е информацията? Дали са мечове от миналото?

Hello guys. What is your opinion about the katana from Giheya?
Are they 100% Nihonto?
Are they sharp katanas?
Is the information 100% correct?
Are they swords from the past (antiques?)

Do you know why they have cheaper katanas than aoiart or other Japanese online dealers?

I believe Atsuo San is genuine.    I've bought 2 swords from him at the DTI.   I'm led to believe Tsurita San is not allowed to attend.  Also, the way he does his photo's tends to cover some imperfections.  Saying that, I have bought from Aoi Art, but not from photo's.  Once one is getting into the more expensive  area of collecting, one can't go past holding the sword in ones hand.  If the dealer guarantees the ability to return (without a re-stocking fee) and post isn't a problem, then buying from photo's isn't so bad.  Now, also one must really know what one is looking at.

Mostly Shinto, Shinshinto and Gendaito no big name Koto pieces listed. So I would think you're just seeing the mid-range...

Hello Gabriel! If possible and the event happens, Japan Art Expo would be in the Netherlands again this summer. I would recommend visiting the event. Giheiya was at the event in 2018, and they had nice selection of various modern swords for martial arts use. I looked at few in their booth and chatted a bit with the staff. It is a rare chance in Europe to see several modern Japanese swords at the same time.
