*Each katana sold on our site is one of a kind. Prior to fulfilling your order we will personally reach out to confirm your details and information.

Every Japanese sword sold in Japan carries a torokusho, a registration certificate issued by the prefectural Board of Education under the Firearms and Swords Control Law. The certificate travels with the blade rather than the owner, and the new owner files a change-of-ownership notification with the issuing Board of Education within 20 days.

For an export sale we obtain an Export Inspection Certificate for Antiquities from the Agency for Cultural Affairs, which confirms the blade is not a designated National Treasure or Important Cultural Property. The torokusho is then surrendered to the prefecture that issued it, because a registration ceases to have effect once the blade leaves Japan. Please allow 1 to 1.5 months from order to delivery.
