From the Musashi Silver series comes this tribute to one of history’s most famous swordsman, Miyamoto Musashi. He is considered to be a “Kensei”, a sword-saint of Japan due to his undefeated record of 61 duels. The limited-edition hand forged katana, aptly named after his book “Go Rin no Sho”, The Book of Five Rings, is themed after the book.

"The Book of Five Rings" written by the undefeated Japanese swordsman Miyamoto Musashi is one of the most insightful readings on the subtle arts of confrontation, Kenjutsu and the martial arts in general. According to Musashi, the rings represent the five elements and the process of mastery over conflict that underlies each element. Each element is represented in kanji on the tsuba, Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Void.   

Intricately hand crafted, the “Go Rin no Sho” katana is hand forged using 1060 high carbon steel. The Sharp blade has gone through clay tempered process and features a real hamon. The polish on the blade is almost mirror like. You can clearly see your own reflections on the blade. The black battle wrap style handle is real ray skin in black cotton cord with a variation of the Kiku Gata style tsuba. The black wooden saya with buffalo horn blends in with its tsuba.

Included with this katana is a sword bag in a deluxe storage box. Each sword is individually numbered on the tang and comes with Certificate of Authenticity. It is a must-have for any serious collector, practitioner of the way of the samurai or a fan of Miyamoto Musashi.

FAQ

Provenance establishes the basic facts about a sword. It provides the date it was made, who made it and who owned it. This allows you to determine authenticity and, through this, the sword’s monetary and cultural value.

How can I protect myself from buying a fake Samurai sword?

Knowing the provenance of a Samurai sword is one sure way to ensure you are not duped. Purchasing the sword from an authorized and reputable dealer further safeguards against becoming the owner of a fake Samurai sword.

Are there any legal restrictions on owning a Samurai sword?

If you purchase a Samurai sword, you must be at least 18 in the United States. However, while owning and even displaying a Samurai sword in your residence is perfectly legal, state-governed restrictions may apply to whether you can carry it in public.

What is the difference between “Musha” and “Musashi” swords?

The primary difference between Musha and Musashi swords lies in the materials and craftsmanship:

  • Musha Swords: These are more entry-level or budget-friendly swords, typically made with less expensive materials. They are perfect for beginners or those looking for a functional yet affordable sword.
  • Musashi Swords: These are higher-end swords, crafted with superior materials and greater attention to detail. They are often favored by collectors or martial artists seeking top-tier performance and aesthetic value.

Both Musha and Musashi swords are functional, but Musashi swords offer a premium experience with higher craftsmanship.
