Beautiful authenticJapanese made Tachi (sword) in Shirasaya (long-term storage sheath). This blade was made bywell-known swordsmith Ichihara Nagamitsu. His signature is found on the nakago (tang).Nagamitsu worked at the Okayama prison as a director during the war. He was a member of the sword technical group of the army. He is known to have participated in a sword meeting and for winning an award during it.

A tachi is a sword designed to be used on a horse and traces back all the way to the early Kamakura period, the golden age of the Japanese sword.

This tachi was made during the war. It is very rare to find a sword made by Nagamitsu in such great condition. This is a traditionally made blade with no arsenal stamps, that is, it was hand forged from tamahagane using traditional methods.

This tachi was registered in Japan in 1970 and was purchased directly from a dealer in Japan (See the registration card picture!). This way you know this is not a wall hanger, but the real deal!
