This is an iaito, so it does not have a sharpened edge and cannot cut.
It is a safe martial arts tool that does not require registration.

This is a top-quality iaito made by Nihon Antique Gallery.
Original retail price at release: Approximately ¥160,000 for the Daisho (long and short ) set.

This is a high-grade Masamune iaito made by Niagi.
This is a later production model, characterized by its kakinagashi groove and polished , designed with display in mind.

As it is constructed as an iaito, it can be used without issue for kata practice or suburi (swinging practice). It produces a light whistling sound when swung due to the groove.
*Please note that it is not durable enough for sparring practice. Also, if used for practice, please ensure regular maintenance.

The has some minor scuff marks and signs of age, but it is in relatively clean condition. There is no looseness in the koiguchi (mouth of the scabbard).
Please confirm the condition in the photos and make your purchase with satisfaction.

Nihon Antique Gallery has ceased iaito production, making this a rare piece.
The Masamune , which was Niagi's flagship model, is particularly beautiful in its hamon (temper line) and koshirae (mountings), offering a sense of satisfaction just by owning it.

Please consider this opportunity.
*As this is a bargain listing, please refrain from significant price reductions.
