Are you gonna go back to the other place and get the Wakizashi?
Which type of katana is best for stabbing the tip of the sword ?
It's a beautiful thing when someone is this in tune with their cultural heritage.
If you noticed, the store clerk handed the katana to its owner with the cut side towards himself, thus showing respect and trust projected on the recipient. This is the proper way to handover a katana
I don't know much about swords but just seeing one versed in it totally geeking out in excitement made me happy. I love seeing people achieve their goals and live their dreams. I bet for a training swordsman, holding such beautiful delicacies was a real treat.
Listening to you "talk" to the katana brought a smile to my face. 理解します
This is so cool. Thank you for sharing your culture and interests 🙏🏽
This was incredible, I had no idea there could be so much selection and history behind the Katana and how it was made. It reminds me of when I had my first pointe shoe fitting and being so excited and trying on many shoes. Thank you for showing your experience to us.
this is probably the longest one I've seen yet.. except in anime which I don't often watch but , this one is very elegant in appearance
That's what makes katanas so much more interesting than normal swords. They are not tools, they have a history and a name
It was so fun to hear the excitement in your voice! What a wonderful video. Loved every moment ❤️
Man, the first katana with the wide blade really made me drooling...
Nice to see they still have the original Yari (Spears) on top of the display cabinet as seen at 2:14.
Thank you for sharing this experience.
Watching your excitement and appreciation really made me smile
Tozando is an amazing shop. I felt like a kid in a candy store when I visited in Kyoto. Thank you for this video!
A real Katana duo in Full geared Armor without holding back will be awesome to see 🗿
2 weeks ago I was in Japan and went to this shop because of you! I bought a katana that was WAY over my budget 😅. But I don't regret it at all!
it's so nice to see how happy you guys look when cutting the mats
It was very very satisfying😎
I got the opportunity to go here this June, it was beautiful and very cool and I was able to get my own gi, hakama, obi and katana cleaning kit. I highly recommend if you love Japanese martial arts
This was amazing, but Shogo you mention that they can ship it to over seas but it had to have a letter signed saying it wasn’t of important cultural property. What defines important cultural property with swords and why can’t a foreigner purchase such a sword. (I can guess but I’d rather ask so I’m not mistaken)
A sword of important cultural property is one that has been evaluated by the NBTHK (Japanese Sword Preservation Association) as Juyo Bunkazai (important cultural property) or above. There are swords evaluated at less (4 main levels - Hozon, Tokubetsu Hozon, Juyo, Tokubetsu Juyo) that can be shipped abroad. The Tokubetsu Juyo often include swords of historical significance already and can reach 50k+ USD.
Is more for the reason swords that are part of the history of Japan don't get sold abroad.
Does your country allow to sell your national tressures to foreigners? Same logic applied here. But hey, if you have some sources, you can buy important cultural property thru Blk Market or thru some not so legal way😄😄
So even if you went online with tozando you can't get it shipped to you? When I was on their site it said something about filling out some form before I could buy their katanas so I just ordered some iaido stuff
Everyone has already given you the correct answer, it’s just simply to prevent any national treasures to accidentally go overseas! However such treasures would usually not be sold at an affordable price at a regular katana shop, so 99% of the time you will be able to buy the katana you want😊 It’s just to double check!
The look on your face right after that first cut says it all. Great video. I could spend all day in Tozando just drooling over the collection.
It's wonderful seeing you smile about the sword so much :)
This is soo cool Shogo❤️❤️❤️❤️
I just got a long katana made by Hitachi no kuni ju - Yoshihiro saku kore in a very high class Edo koshirae.
The blade is very wide but very heavy for a more modern blade.
I'm so glad you gave us another look at this store and which katana you favour.
Absolutely incredible quality swords. Fun and exciting review.
This is really helpful this is wht I want to experience when I go to Japan!!!! Thank you for all the information you provided me yesterday on Instagram and thanks you for putting out this amazing video!!!
Thanks for your video. Beautiful shop:)
Really looking forward to being able to visit you, and possibly even trying some tameshigiri.
Keep us updated!
Wow!so amazing...the way they swing the katana and cut the mat is effortless.
Thank you very much for the interesting and informative videos! Katanas are beautiful, you can admire them forever! 🤩🔥🔥🔥
I love using suede for my swords Ito. It's so comfortable and looks great at the same time. Depending on the color it can give a cool gradient effect after some use.
I so want to visit Kyoto. I've been to Tokyo - but a couple weeks at Kyoto is a dream of mine.
This is amazing❤️
So interesting. The cuts are so incredibly clean. What a beautiful weapon.
Shogo, That Katana looks absolutely beautiful. And if you had not bought it. I would have considered buying it. Many happy memories with a wonderful sword.
I visited it in 2013....Wonderful
This is so much fun!
Does he ever cut the bamboo in the garden?
love seeing you geeking out on the cuts!
I knew you were going to choose the 5th katana. The way you were looking at it was like a kid in a candy store!!! 🤭
Congratulations on choosing the right Katana (for now at least). I hope it will stay by your side for many, many years !
Congratulations for your new Katana, this is a dream come true, arigato gozaimasu, greetings from Venezuela
That was really cool, I would love to visit there.
I really appreciate you making these video that share your culture and experience. Thank you. 🙏
Congratulations on the purchase of such an amazing katana. It seems to have a wonderful new home.
Congratulations on your new purchase!
Amazing video! that is a beautiful Sword!
Those are some beautiful pieces of art in that shop . I'm planning a trip to Japan when I have the chance and would like to see that shop in person. I really like your videos please keep them coming.
I love these type of videos because it gives you the perfect idea of what the process of buying a real katana is like.(I fell in love with the fifth katana).
(This coment is unrelated with the video but i would love to see shogo react to one of these movies: Yojimbo and/or harakiri)
That sure is a beautiful katana you bought! Congratulations!
I love the katana on rurouni Kenshin, the one that had a tilted handle, reminds me of Count Dooku lightsaber
Those are beautiful Katana.
I love that Tachi you held. Gorgeous.
I've got some Demons whose bones need to turn to ash.
That Tachi will do nicely.
Maybe he could make one in a Frost theme.
I am the originator of the Frost Breathing technique.
I am perfecting the first two forms.
I love your Katana/ Sword episodes ❤️❤️❤️ The short Tachi style was Amazing
They’re all Incredible 💯❤️❤️❤️
I seriously wanted to buy that katana too… but the price is more than twice the one I bought this time😅
Congratulations on your purchase! That is a beautiful Katana.
Next time I’m in Kyoto! I want to visit this place and, maybe, bring home a working piece of art.
This is the first time i've realized that the front part of the Chonmage was like the tail of a normal hairstyle, i've never seen one up close. Haha.
I love the tsuba of this katana!
That’s amazing ❤ from Texas
Always liked blades with O-kissaki. They seem more majestic to me.
This guy is literally living my dream life
It's a little funny that the bag for the Katana looks so similar to a gig bag for a guitar. Apart from the shape, of course.
Congrats on your superb purchase.
The look on his face is priceless!
Seeing Shogo laughing with a sinister tone while looking at a katana turns me on
Absolutely beautiful Katana . I also like the new haircut . I really like your clothing that you wore to go choose your Katana . I hope that you and your family and friends are doing well .
Looking to get my first katana. Thanks for this video
Happy for you. Nice sword.
Your video series have inspired me to shop for a Katana! I've practiced Kendo for 10 years and Iaido for 7 years in the Silicon Valley area. Time for the real thing! I've been to Tozando/Kyoto in 2018 and hope to go back someday soon.
No, its too soon for you, you might hurt yourself or other people. Wait 20 more years. Beside, save the money to buy something more useful like a shovel to plant trees. Beside, what would you do with katana? Cutting stuff and making trash?
@@misterprogressive8730 shush. You obviously don't practice.
Do you have any sort of shinken experience? If not DO NOT buy a nihonto for your first if you plan on doing alot of cutting.
Buy yourself a modern replica made with higher grade steels and get away from folding and lamination but make sure it has a hamon.
Walter Sorrell. Howard Clark Rick Barrett Josiah boomershine. Or some of the practictioners higher grade stuff like motohara.
Nihonto are very delicate in some Cases. And you'll get attached to you first sword. Buy a beater modern steel blade. And then get a nihonto for practicing kata and such and occasionally cutting. They're alot more expensive to maintain as you have to send them back to Japan for sharpening.
that is a beautiful blade that handle the craftsmanship whenever I visit Japan I have to come and visit you or when you come and visit the states come to Tampa
Beautiful
I want to imagine this shop is connected to the Kimono shop so you can get a matching set (:
His is soooooo amazing experience !!
I am one day gonna make it big, and send you money to buy the big width modern katana! You are amazing my guy!
i must say thoes were some clean chops very sharp
So cool 🤩
I wonder what the over under on you getting that “Dragonfly” katana next - cause it is clear you have a love for that bug.
Thanks.
that is a beautiful sword...i wish i could buy it one day
that is indeed a beautiful blade.
That is a beautiful choice of katana and beautiful cut just beautiful❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️⚔️✌️
THANKS :)
Very Cool!
😎😎😎
I will admit to a small amount of envy!
I love the katana nr 4. It's simply a work of art and historical value.
It really was beautiful!!
@@LetsaskShogo it was. Like i can't imagine how much joy you felt when you held it up. Nr 5 is beautiful too, and you know what you need. You have great knowledge and experience with the katana. But if I could choose. It would be nr 4. It was stunning
One day I hope to be able to do this, all of the Katanas shown are beautiful. I unfortunately live in the United States and only have Katana lookalikes.
Fun fact: there are more antique/real katana in the USA than anywhere else in the world. If you're interested you can look up local clubs or look into the NBTHK - America Branch. They're still quite expensive but it's always fun to learn and see them in person!
you should prolly get another one and have someone like kazu or shogo have it on and ready all the time when youre cutting mats with the tourist. never let it just be the tourist because that could spell trouble in a "thinking ab every situation" type of way.
Last katana shogo looked at is 4,500 USD and the one he bought
Its sooooo pretty!
you look amazingly graceful swinging that katana
I plan to visit Japan for a few weeks and while I'm there I intend to commission Yoshindo Yoshihara to forge a custom blade specifically for me
Wow, this is amazing! Would you care to do a tameshigiri and comparative video between those, particularly a wakizashi instead, and a Top Prado ginunting?
Congratulations. I am jealous of your beautiful new katana. Did they ever show you how to switch the blade to the shira-saya?
hi i really love japan i wish i can go there some day
Yes I will yes yes
I was at the store about 1.5 weeks ago!
your about to have a nice collection
i want the tachi though that dragonfly one is very nice......
Congratulations 😎👍
Congratulations!
#9 sweet.
Anya wow😲
Beautiful Masterpieces 💯 I wish I could have one (or afford one) ❤️
As a short, stocky person, I would Gladly take the Stout, Heavy design 💯💪🏻
Can you make a video with all your katanas and wakizashis in your collection, and everything about them? 😅
Interesting
Amazing!! I mean... I don't know where to start with what impresses me the most?!! For $4K plus, I don't I'd let anyone aside myself touch it, but hearing you speak about it so causally helps to relax my viewpoint. Perhaps I am focused on the more insignificant part of it.🤔 Hmmmm? A down payment on a house or pull with this and declare the house mine🧐🤔
Man's fr got Goemon's katana
