Bushidō, sharp katanas (武士道 the way of the warrior)

Maru 1045 sharpened katanas, braids (柄糸 Tsuka-Ito and 下緒 Sageo) red or blue, sayas (鞘 scabbards) engraved with Bushidō kanji


Our sayas are engraved with Japanese kanji meaning "The Way of the Warrior". Our red and blue frames make us look like twins, like complements. This special synergy is what makes us stand out on the battlefield or in duels.
Our weapons master has developed a unique martial technique, based on the use of two katanas, the Daburusōdo (ダブルソード). Contrary to traditional samurai usage, slipping the Daishō (大小 wakizashi and katana) into their belt, its two blades are identical in size. During combat, the first blade, the color of fire, is used for attack, while the second, the color of water, is used for protection. Singular and difficult to master, this art of combat is reserved for the elite. Are you one of them?

Bushidō, sharp katanas (武士道 the way of the warrior) #Terressens

The reading corner

"Bushidō, the soul of Japan", Inazo Nitobe


The Bushidō... the cultural and moral foundation of the whole of Japan, the backbone of the Nipponese mentality, how many acts of bravery will have been performed by invoking its name! When Inazō Nitobe wrote Bushidō, the Soul of Japan, at the beginning of our century (just twenty years after the law abolishing the official existence of the samurai), his intention was to give an account of a code of conduct that would plead in favor of a nation, a people, recently turned upside down by the intrusion of the West into its universe. Yet this text goes far beyond the simple description of a moral. For reasons that have to do with the extreme quality of its writing, but also and above all with the very noble, very moving image it gives of this Eastern chivalry, Bushidō appears as an initiatory book with a universal dimension.

Katanas, swords, daggers and knives are now classified in category D. The purchase and possession of these weapons are unrestricted. In principle, they may not be carried or transported without legitimate reason. If transported, the weapon must not be "directly" usable. It must be securely packed in a case or container, preferably with a padlock or other protective system.
