Iaito Minosaka Hon Koshirae | 2.45 ~ 2.55 Shaku
Hon Koshirae Minosaka Iaito (2.45 ~ 2.55 Shaku)
Made in Japan (Kyushu)
Hamon : Suguha
Habaki : Shonai (silver) | Seppa : Silver
Tsuba: Icho Zogan | Menuki: Ryu (big) | Fuchi/Kashira: Guribori (Hon Jidai)
Tsukaito & Sageo : Silk, blue
Saya : Hon Kuroishime
Based on the Kanbun style blade (17th century), the Hon Koshirae is a heavy model designed for advanced practitioners.
In this cold (silver/blue) design, the model features all the best kanagu (pieces) available at the Minosaka workshop.
Silver plated Seppa and Habaki, silver plated pattern on Kasuga Tsuba, brass Ryu (dragon) Menuki; "Hon Jidai" style Fuchi / Kashira and silk blue Sageo & Tsukaito.
The Sayanuri (lacquer) is coated with the strongest scratch-resistant Kuroishime lacquer (black color with sanding effect). Unlike standard Kuroishime lacquer, the process used for this saya is called "Hon Kuroishime" (real Kuroishime) which is the same process used for high-grade real Shinken. The grain is far thinner than that of the standard Ishime finish and there are twice as many layers of lacquer.
These models also feature 2 Mekugi in order to guarantee maximal security.
This instock model is offered with about a 10% discount in comparison to the same options selected on the full custom Hon Koshirae product
The blade is made of reinforced high-quality zinc/aluminum bubble-free alloy (duralumin). Note: Alloy blades do not cut and cannot be sharpened.
Just like the blade, all fitting parts are handmade in Japan and result in a 100% made-in-Japan product.
Please note that the former weaving (Kakucho) of the Sageo has been replaced by a new one (Shigeuchi), giving the sageo a thicker look.
