I embody the values of the samurai. The engravings I wear represent the seven fundamental values that Inazō Nitobé ascribed to the Way of the Warrior, the Bushidō (武士道): righteousness, courage, benevolence, politeness, sincerity, honor and loyalty. These are not just words, but the pillars of a perfect, timeless morality, at the crossroads between traditional Japanese culture and Western modernity.

So, I'm not just a weapon with a sharp edge, but above all the symbol of a life of self-improvement and self-improvement. Will you be able to follow this path?

"Bushidō - The Samurai Code: The Soul of Japan", Inazō Nitobé

In this comprehensive work on the subject, which has become a classic, Inazō Nitobé recalls the history of the samurai and explains the seven fundamental values that make up the Bushidō, the samurai's code of honor, and still structure Japanese society and soul today: justice, courage, benevolence, politeness, sincerity, honor, loyalty. Inazō Nitobé's "Bushidō: The Samurai Code - The Soul of Japan" is a classic. It is an essential guide to understanding the samurai spirit and the culture of Japan. Deluxe hardcover edition. With a foreword by Alexander Bennett, 7ᵉ Dan of kendō and translator of the complete works of Miyamoto Musashi: The Treatise of the Five Wheels and Other Texts.

Maintenance kit

Maintenance kit for katana (shinken) blade #Terressens

Maintenance of a sword or saber is necessary to prevent oxidation (rust). Old oil must be removed and replaced by a film of new oil. The maintenance kit is composed of several elements:
Microfiber cloth: for cleaning, spreading oil and polishing the blade.
Uchiko: a ball of finely ground chalk (chalk powder) wrapped in a ball of cloth. Intended for cleaning the blade's surface, the powder passes through the wrapping when tapped, allowing it to be sprinkled over the blade's steel.
Oil: applied as a thin film, it protects against oxidation.
Mukugi(x 2): pins (bamboo dowels 目釘) that hold the blade and handle (tsuka 柄) together.
Pin driver (Mekugi Nuki): Small brass hammer with a screwed-in pin for removing mekugi.
Maintenance does not require disassembly, but if you need to remove the handle (tsuka 柄), replace the pins.

Figure 1: Cleaning the blade with a microfiber cloth
Figure 2: Tapping the Uchiko on the blade to deposit limestone powder
Handle with care to avoid injury.
1/ Use the microfiber cloth to remove oil from the blade. From the guard (Tsuba 鍔) to the tip (Kissaki 切先), slide the cleaning cloth over the back of the blade (Mune 棟), folding it in half to wrap both sides of the blade.
Lightly squeeze the cloth between thumb and forefinger to surround the blade from above (first illustration).
2/ Once the old oil has been removed, use the uchiko to lightly tap along the blade (second illustration).
3/ Use the cloth to lightly polish the blade and remove the powder, in the same direction as the first step (first illustration).
4/ Apply the oil along each side of the blade with the sprayer (or a very soft brush). The oil should be spread thinly and evenly, without excess (first illustration).
Be sure not to touch the blade before replacing it in its sheath (saya 鞘).
Clean the microfiber cloth with soapy water.

Hello Monsieur Contal,
Katana ordered on 18 October 2023, received on 20 October in Bordeaux!
A few minor cosmetic problems with the packaging and the Katana stand, quickly resolved thanks to Monsieur Contal's responsiveness and professionalism.
The Katana and Saya are superb, a serious and reliable site, very responsive both in terms of e-mail exchanges and logistics.
I'd like to recommend them.
