Iaito - Higo Meji

The Meji time is the heyday of the samurai. The self-comprehension of the Bushido emerged from the combination of the feudalism, the martial arts and the Buddhism. Many symbolic motifs, which express the way of the Samurai (Bushido), find their way into the design of the sword assembly.

Therefore you can find at all Japanese sword manufacturer Iaito mountings which are similar to each other because they pick up favored or typical motifs of this epoch. Our Meji models (Jidai and Higo) are characterized by their unique concept of Japan Budo. Solid and qualitative workmanship is amended by a variable blade offer. So you can find surely the for you most adequate Iaito for an optimal handling and practice.

The mounting mirrors in a special, clear and simple way the Bushido’s world of thought. The iron Tsuba pictures the Buddhist life circle while the Menuki with its chrysanthemum motif is symbolizing the lords respectively the imperial family. Fuchi and Kashira express the harmony and frugality of the aspirational awareness of life of the Samurai.
