Samurai Sword KONDO ISAMI style Katana
【Description】
Kondo Isami (1834-1869) was the chief of the famous Samurai military unit Shinsen-Gumi in the late Edo period, mostly known for the group’s defiance against the new government party towards the fall of Edo’s dynasty.
Originally, Shinsen-Gumi was founded to be the guards of Shogun in Kyoto, in which they ended up splitting into several parties due to the gaps among their political ideologies. They were in charge of protecting the city of Kyoto from terrorisms which derived from the underlying Son-Noh Jo-I (Protect Emperor/Eliminate Foreign Powers) movement in such instances as the August 8 Incident and the Ikedaya Incident,
After the last Shogun Yoshinobu Tokugawa had given his political initiative back to the Japanese emperor in the year 1867, Shinsen-Gumi went onto fighting against the New Government Army at the Boshin Wars. Although they could not resist the new order to overwhelm Edo, the accomplishments and legends of Shinsen-Gumi still captivate a lot of Japanese people, as they had stood up for Edo, and demonstrated the death of Samurai in the last days of its history.

【Give the Replica Japanese Sword to Your Significant Other】
Are you looking for a unique gift for someone interested in Japanese culture?
We recommend you give them the replica Japanese sword as a present.
All our replica Japanese swords are great to display as they are precisely designed following the traditional Nihonto style.
Katana was the primary weapon of Samurai for a long time during the Samurai period. In Japanese culture, giving a sword to someone means to hope that the sword protects them from evil spirits and misfortune. Therefore, the Japanese sword still has its place in Japanese ceremonial events such as the Japanese wedding. The bride puts a Tanto(primarily known as Kaiken) under their belt, hoping that it protects them. Also, in the Shichigosan ceremony, people give a short Katana to their children wishing for their healthy growth.
