Guys, if you are in the USA just check out RVA Katanas.

2:27 3:16 You should displayed and unsheath the Katana with the sharp edge facing up. You can also see in Tazondo shop how they display a Katana except Tachi.

How did you ship it to the us? Is there any paperwork or permits? I have a trip in a couple months

Dude, who are you looking 👀 at????

Illegal on a plane? You mean you can't just stick it in the armrest like in Kill Bill.....

Most people want to get a katana.but is there any way to get an affordable TANTO or an Iaito since basically all swords in japan now are made of aluminum zinc instead of steel

How much are the swords behind the Cash desk?

I'll be there this summer to buy an iaito as well. Nice video!

Great video! did you have to pay duties/taxes when you shipped it home? I'm from Canada and plan to buy on there when I visit soon. Thank you!

🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

You had the blade facing down!? You don't deserve it.

Now that you've acquired an iaito from Japan are you going to continue to draw it incorrectly & display it upside down on your wall? ...😅

They should offer padded hunting rifle cases to put the swords after they were wrapped up in padding, after all they are historical relics.

Kyoto is a wonderful city to spend some time. As a tourist, I really enjoy Japan in general.

Tozando is great, but Minosaka and Nosyudo are the kings. Both make better quality products but they are a bit less known. It is perfectly legal to carry an aluminum imitation sword (iaito/mogito) in the plane as well (not in the cabin) because they can not be sharpened ( this is the law requirement in japan). A steel blade needs some short of extra paperwork to be allowed to enter and exit the country , though. ( The airlines themselves are cool, as long it is in the checked baggage and not the cabin ones)

Aah how times have changed. Way way back in 1987 I brought a sword j to the United States through Miami International Airport in my hands. It was hilarious seeing some grifter ( I think he was a HariKrisha ) who tried to get my attention realize what I was carrying. 😲

When you want the real thing, you go to the source if you can. Or as close as you can get. Tozando is awesome.

Agreed Tozando is the best. Thanks for sharing

when you swing that 'sword', the non control movement of your head indicates too much tension in your shoulder and arm. That shows that the iaito you choose was too long or too heavy for your size but if you bought it for decorative use and not for training doesn't matter. I think you made a good purchase anyway from one of the best providers possible

Hmm… I noticed you drew the sword blade down, this is not a typical draw for katana these days… in fact almost since the katana popularization among samurai it’s been drawn with the saya facing up. You should know at least this if you spent about 10000usd purchasing a sword from tozando Edit: sorry I guess I should have expected this… it is also typical and good practice for sword maintenance to keep it displayed and held with the blade facing up. This will help to maintain the edge as it is less likely to knock against the saya. And displaying your sword handle to the right blade down means you are at war. So I believe… (just an enthusiast as well so please if someone knows more correct me) traditionally you display it handle to the left blade to the sky so it shows you are in peacetime, and won’t make guests uneasy… at least as far as tradition goes Double edit time! So I see reading through comments I see some have corrected you, and also you purchase a iato based on a comment I read, so not 10k on a sword lol. Tbh you probably would have been better off purchasing a knock off katana from a western smith for around 3-400usd instead of potentially spending 7-1100usd on a iato, I see from a comment there was a discount offered. But since it appears you didn’t personalize the sword in any way, and have no intention of using it for its intended training purposes, it would have been fine to purchase something that’s maybe not “authentic” since you merely enjoy the aesthetics. You could have used that money to possibly see about going to get a samurai experience while in Japan, and maybe cut tamashigiri tatami mats or something else. Either way you got a nice sword, and I mean in no way to discourage you from your purchase, I’d just recommend if you are an enthusiast, to take some time to learn about the customs and traditions of the weapon that you have enthusiasm for. Especially when making a video to share that with people online. Either way love tozando, and I don’t mean to discourage anyone. Good luck in your journey either way!

Nice cinematic ❗️ I also shoot cinematic so it's very helpful 👏 Thank you for the wonderful video 📸

Based on the reflectivity of the hamon, that looks like an iato, a practice sword made from nonferrous metal that cannot be sharpened.

❤

The real Katana's start at $7500 from there and are very good quality

He bought an iaito, an unsharpened practise blade, it doesnt matter if he stores it blade down or up as it doesnt affect the blade or the saya. This practise of blade up only applies to a shinken where you have to take care the sharpened edge is not sitting in contact with the wood inside the saya as this can lead to rusting. You can clean the iaito with the traditional choji oil or not it doesnt really matter as it has no iron in it to rust. I've used an iaito for iai practice for the last 15 years and have stored it every which way and it doesnt affect the blade or the saya. Use a cotton cloth to wipe the blade to keep it clean after each practise to stop the oils from your hands accumulating in the saya. I hope you take up an opportunity to learn iaido or koryu.

Yet Japanese swordsmiths are dying out at an exponential level. In the next three decades, only about 10 swordsmiths will be left in all of Japan.

And then there is this advice keeping it 100...👇 ua-cam.com/video/2xQTDDevz58/v-deo.html

2:24 the way he unsheath a katana, 🥲

At the approximately 1:50 mark you said Tozando is a sword manufacturer. I'm sure that was an accidental misspeak as Tozando does not make swords but rather sells them for a variety of swordsmiths

Great Video!! Do more!!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

que buen video!

Bro on the thumbnail is doing the kokushibo panel from demon slayer

I’ve been through nearly 20 Tozando iaito during my training. Can’t get enough of them.

Pls hang your sword blade up 😢

Is there a video or somewhere i can go to be taught how to properly maintain and clean a katana

3:15 When you put katana on the stand/rack make sure the blade edge is facing up. You have the blade edge of your katana facing down and that will damage the blade of your katana.

I wish.... Jeeeeeesus. I just bought a 400$ katana to train iaido and plan on taking kendo, kenjustsu and bokken too... Tamahagane steel and katanas made in Japan are INCREDIBLY expensive. Alot of it has to do with all the paperwork that goes into making and selling of said katana... I hope one day I can get a real Japanese Katana... Maybe in my dreams.

But why show it right

Was wondering why you came into my feed, but as I have a sword channel, your video regarding a katana, came through, also saw you are a wedding cinematographer, explains a well done video....I myself am a cinematographer and editor, but my channel is dedicated to blades, really well done video, nice to meet you friend, and yes one day I need myself a true genuine Nihanto

I have travelled internationally with many white weapons and never had a problem. Swords, bows and arrows and many many knives. Just have them in a dedicated storage and dont even dream to have them in the cabin. Last time I travelled internationally with my bow and sword I had to pay 50 dollars for the bow and 100 for the sword, it had nothing to do with the objects, they charge you extra for "extra large items" regardless of the weight, and the first is 50 dollars, the second is 100, the third is 150, and so on and so forth. I also had my bike..

Please dont desplay the sword with the blade facing downwards and touching the scabbard :(

puerto rico… el great value state.

3:16 Debes usar esa katana y picar ese poster de lebron en 4 pedazitos, mi opinión haha

Hopefully see you in iaido & kenjutsu classes.

Japanese nihonto and Tozando were mostly modern weapons and antiques that got refurbished

cool video, but seems like a llot of trouble for an iaido sword lol, could of easily just gotten one online or even a local vendor. Make it your goal for this year to save up for a shinken on your next trip.

Eres hispono hablante ¿verdad?
