Nishijin Collection - Giku Suisen

Nishijin Collection Iaito

This wonderful iaito, with flowers and birds motif, wrapped in a deep navy silk, would come straight from an area of Kyoto renowned for its prowess in the production of traditional Japanese textiles. Nishijin is also well known for being a historical army camp from before the Edo Period (this being what Nishijin actually means). 

The blade is made of GT Metal - denser and stronger than regular iaito, perfect for capturing the feel of a shinken.  This foundation is then worked by hand into a beautiful finish and completed with a practical kuroishime saya. 

This is an in-stock iaito and will ship in approximately 1 to 3 working days after you make your order.
