What better place than Kyoto, Japan's ancient capital city, to find katana or nihonto - as Japanese swords are called in Japan. These "samurai swords" - that were once carried into battle by samurai warriors- can now be owned by those of us who treasure this tradition. We invite you to come to Kuraya Hashimoto in Kyoto to see our current stock of shinken (real Japanese swords), or, from this web site, purchase a reproduction of a famous historical katana to display in your home or at your place of business.
