Love Yamamoto San at Tozando. Had a shinsakuto commissioned in 2017ish.
Komiya Yasumitsu . Beefy mino den built for cutting and kata.
The gentleman says that the dragonfly is known as the winning insect because it only flies forward. But dragonflies can fly in all directions, even backwards. However, scientists have found that dragonflies have a success rate of 95% when hunting and are nature's most successful predator. So they're STILL the winning insect and I think this makes their image on a katana even more fitting!
I believe the term is a dragonfly flies in any direction faceward.
I think that if you have ever watched a dragonfly the reason for why they are winning insects becomes very clear. Maybe people just forgot the reason why but remembered that they are insects worthy of immense respect. Also the dragonfly not only is an amazing flying insect as well as hunter but has remained mostly unchanged for an insanely long time hinting that it is performing at maximum efficiency.
This is amazing to think about because there’s they didn’t have such statistics back then
@@vhntech no they have eyes like a fly, they don't move their head at all to fly backwards
🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
You should be sponsored by the Japanese cultural affairs as you're doing a superb job on promoting the Japanese culture!! :) The Katana is one of its highest points, not only because of the ones that used it but mainly because of the ones that made it. Pure unbelievable craftsmanship. Blades with several centuries old are hypnotic. Honored is the one able to have a live & close view of a centuries old katana in pristine condition.

The feeling of holding a katana and performing tameshigiri is unique. After learning about the sword and being presented by the correct people, who knows and respect the weapon, after learning the correct handling... cutting is like a crowning. I'm eager to back to training, and buying my own katana soon.
I love how polite shogo is, most Japanese people I meet are this way and it’s delightful to see.
I am not a practitioner of any of the sword disciplines, but I found the dragonfly katana the most beautiful. I also agree with Criostoir that the symbolism is on point. The dragonfly is not physically the biggest or strongest being, but they are the most successful hunters.
I liked the gourd one.
instantly fell in love with the third one! what an amazing format you found! thanks alot for all your work, I enjoy your videos!
After watching your video about how they were made this video is helping me appreciate the sword better and it's use. Thank you Shogo-san
So excited for you to finally be getting your own first REAL sword! I can't wait to see what you end up with. Congratulations buddy!
I have always facinated by katana sword ever since i was young and i did have the opportunity to not only see the katana but, to hold one
13 years that I've been to tozando and explored katanga all around Japan... This is by far the best introduction on a journey to Katana shopping I've ever seen. Subarashikata!
Very nice swords....I study Iaido as well...beautiful just beautiful
Thank you so much. I look forward to part two.
This is a really considerate video idea, sharing your insights while you check out different sword and eventually pick one. I will enjoy seeing the absolute glee in your eyes and all the beautiful swords
Man this video was incredible, thank you so much for making these! I hope you make more like this in the near future, I always learn so much from them
SHOGO!
I just recently found your channel and watched several videos and instantly subscribed. Your sickness video just came up at the top of my recommended videos today. I was so worried I rushed to your main page to make sure you were still uploading. I hope and pray you've been finding a way to manage your sickness and it's been improving. You are so brilliantly positive and educational and dedicated to the message you are delivering in all of your videos. I hope you see this and know how appreciated you are and please, take care of yourself and your family first and foremost! You are an important person and I wish you all the best. Please take care~
Thank you for letting us join you. I own one sharp katana and a few sharp European swords plus three European antique sabers I use for cutting and a one handed kyu gunto that I keep unsharpened.
I've always wanted to get myself a Katana. I cant wait to travel to Japan!
You may buy one but won't be able to get one back home that easily.
@@vhntech I know that. But does it also apply to blunt katana? Even if it wasn’t sharp?
@@galacticknight3058 You could always try ordering one online.
The level of reverence for the katana in your culture is incredible to think they have preserved these masterpieces for so long in impeccable condition is amazing such admiration for your culture i hope to one day visit
Wow I live in Canada and those swords are a whopping $6000+!!!! That's crazy!!! No wonder it's the first one you bought at those prices.
I bought an iaito from Tozando a few months ago thanks to your videos. I'm looking forward to watching your journey.
I like how it's shine while it's filming just like in anime drawing their swords
What an amazing experience to share
Thank you...I look forward to the rest of your journey........
I will be returning to Tozando on the 23rd so my friends can view and purchase a Katana. It would be great to meet you in your quest to purchase your Katana
My only fear would be scuffing up the blade or worse during tamishigeri. That's an expensive work of art & getting it polished/re-sharpened isn't cheap either. Great video, thank you! 🙇♂️
You'd have to hit something much harder than tatami mats for that to happen
Not much of a concern for something like a mat. I’ve managed to damage blades on cement walls though… Please don’t ask, let’s just say it was a beginner’s mistake. すみません刃。
@@ObsoleteVodkaYT It's not just how hard you strike, it's also what you strike.
Bamboo is not wood, it is a grass. That maters because like all grasses it derives its strength from its high biosilicate content. That is hard as glass, harder than most carbon steels. Enough mat cutting will definitely scuff up any steel blade. That's why I quit using bamboo cutting boards for preparing food- they damage a knife's edge more than wood does.
It doesn't take much to scratch or scuff polished iron or steel, guys. Look closely at the katana that you own & you'll see abrasions from left from simply drawing it from the saya. 🤷♂️
All my swords get light scratches in the finish from tatami cutting. It's something you have to live with. To fully restore the finish you have to polish the whole blade. I find that if I try to re-polish just part of the blade it never blends in perfectly.
As a metal smith, familiar with many alloys ,I am fascinated by the craft and metallurgy ,of the Japanese Knife and sword technology. They are the pinical of cutting art.
My choice would've been the first one as well! Hope you find your katana soon! For $6,000 price tag, though, I would definitely not be cutting anything with it. It will go straight to the wall for display!
It is such a pleasure to witness your passion,care,respect and ultimate reverance for such a thing of beauty!
Thank you for bringing such a down to earth and selfless respect to traditions now being lost in this modern world.
i for one am so happy that i found your channel,Shogo Sensei,oh and not to forget the excellant camera work by Madame Tomoko. love from Aus.👌❤
I love the third one, the minimalism design is beautiful.
the third was really nice
What beautiful pieces of art. Looking forward to this series.
the fourth katana just stole my heart away. the wave pattern was amazing
I'm super excited for this series!!!
Fantastic video! I can't wait to watch the rest of this series.
I would be SO nervous about dropping one. What a great experience.
Keren 👍👍👍
Saya salah satu peminat pedang khas Jepang.
Salam dari pulau Kalimantan barat, Indonesia 🇲🇨🙏
I pray one day I can afford to purchase a traditional Japanese katan and even have the chance to visit Japan personally, even with the risk of being a foreigner, it would surely be an honor to see the homeland of such historic practices as the Samurai. I wish to visit several other Martial Arts corresponding countries as well.
Same
I would like to say thank you, thank you so very much for making this video as well all your other videos on all things considering Japan. I recently started a sword collection when I inherited a sword of my own, and my dream has been to own a true uchigatana for display and functional use. Because you made this video, I can find that dream katana through Tozando. Many thanks to you again Shogo!
Best video yet! Very cool and informative Brother Shogo!
These katanas are so pleasing.
Amazing video! I absolutely adore katanas and I really wish to own few or several. This was great and informative! I think I will keep this store in mind. Especially if you can even buy internationally!
I just wanted to say I have been planning a trip to Japan for a long time, me and my best friend xzavion have been saving up for a while. Your content is amazing and I hope you continue posting about Japanese culture like this for a long time.
You should watch some vlogs on the manufacture of these fine blades. The wavy pattern is iron mud applied by the sword master in the annealing process towards the end of manufacturing. Some very nice blades, wish I could afford one.
Great idea for a series Shogo. All mine are display toys and your show will help me find a real Tachi/Katana one day soon. どうもありがとうございます
Great video, thank you for sharing this wonderful experience with us.
I LOVE your channel!
I absolutely love that 4th sword, the one forged by Kanehide. A Showa wartime era Gendaito?
Thank you for this great video. Love your enthusiasm.
Omg I love that we get to see this process!
thank you very informative, the last one was my favorite.
That was great thanks, makes me want to visit all the more.
It was great to see you revisit Tozando again and use the same katana from that last video. Hope you'll find your ideal katana for battodo!
Very educated and extremely polite! I hope I can live one day, in Japan! I love your country and I respect your people!
Looking forward to the next installment of this one! I'm impatient to see more shinken actually from Japan! :D
Excellent video Shogo!
A man soul extends in these swords it's very spiritual just amazing I wish to visit
The Dragon Fly, great choice.
How can anyone make such a amazing piece of art
Would feel great to swing that sword. I agree on the pick you made. Beautiful blade wow!!
Thank you for this video!
Just a amazing experience.thanks
As an Iaido practitioner (Yamauchi-ha Muso Jikiden Eishin-ryu) I really really enjoyed this video. Our branch advocates longer and wider swords with very little sori, as were used in the Tosa region. I really look forward to visiting Tozando one day.
Great video on the process of picking and purchasing a Katana. Looking forward to the next shops you will be visiting.
So for those curious, and I looked it up, the swords he was looking at ranged around 5000-6000 USD, but looked it up, and real shinken can go up to $30,000+ USD. Thus, not only should you know the culture and history behind the katana to respect it, but also know it is an investment.
these are real shinken just not high end ones like you said made by master smiths these are just basic nihonto
@@micahcampaand they’re so cool it’s also cool buying these because you support living smiths
Nice video! I visited this beautiful shop two and a half years ago. Fantastic experience.
Wow! Amazing! Thank you for sharing
Wow i am impressed with those katanas and shop
Great and enjoyable video ! Thank you very much for this !
Wish I could own one. I respect the craftsmanship so much.
All of them were very cool
Great choice! The dragonfly was my favorite as well. So looking forward to the next shop!
My uncle is fascinated by the Japanese Sumari and Katanas. When I visit I will bring him back a gift of his very own Katana!
Great video, Katanas are beautiful, I had a Japanese neighbour in Australia who allowed me to hold her grandfather’s katana I was only 12 at the time I just loved it, it seemed so heavy and it was very old. I felt so honoured and lucky and have had that opportunity. Can’t wait to see part 2 and 3
All the Katana you examined were gorgeous. I have to agree with you n your choice of the Tonbo themed Katana. I have always admired Katana with Tonbo themed Koshirae. I will be edified to see what Katana you finally choose at the end of your search.
Wow love and respect from Syria
Hello Shogo, just want to say that Japanese people are some of my favorite people, I actually met someone from Japan quite a few years ago, he was a very nice person, I also have an English-translated copy of The Hagakure ( The Art Of The Samurai) by Yamamoto Tsunetomo, as well as an English-translated copy of the Gorin No Sho (Book of five rings) by Miyamoto Musashi, I found both books to be fascinating to read.
THE KATANAS LOOK SO COOOOOOOOOOL!
Dragonflies can actually fly backwards as skillfully as they fly forwards. They can even fly upside among other things. Maybe the dragonflies on the first katana represent Skill or Skillful Victory rather that just winning. Beautiful katana though.
Fantastic video. Great information.
Very exciting. Nice you were able to take one to the garden. I would love to learn to use the sword.
Can't wait for the next part of this series.
Thanks for showing. Gorgeous swords, I liked them all.
Thank you. Very fascinating.
Thank you for sharing!
Beautiful Blade! Great video
Thanks For Sharing!😉
Beautiful swords. Personaly I like the first one the most too. Very nice colour of the handle and the blade was perfect in my opinion.
The first one is nice I really like the falling rain pattern on the habaki
Shogo-kun, I really want a naginata. Katana 3 called to me, but Katana 4’s hamon are gorgeous.
This video is sick dude. Greetings from Greece!!!
Hi Shogo, in your previous video you explained there were many kinds of wraps on the handle.
I'd like to see a video of katana you find with as many different wrap styles and what differences (if any) they make to the user.
Love the Dragonfly katana...
Exactly the instruction that was hoped for😎👍
The Dragonfly is a great choice...
However, am looking forward to what the next assortment of Katana will be😎👍
Thank you fo this series😎👍
😎👍❤🖖
So amazing! The last part is very important for the foreigner. When I went in a sword shop in Tokyo, I was amazed for the real ones, but unfortunately, besides the price, there are a lot of hindrances to transport to another country. I got a replica which barely fit my suitcase.
Please do more of these!!!
I don’t think I could leave without purchasing, I would have been to tempted, I liked the third and 5th with heavy Niku
Instructive and entertaining!
Great job on the video
This is so cool wish I could have a katana that would be cool
Number four gave me goosebumps. Like someone walked across my grave.
So wish there were places like that in the US. All we can do is buy online and hope for the best.
I Knew it!.Eric is everywhere;) Greets from the crusader:) Second channel Here.....
Breathtaking beauty
