        Katana Certificate of Authenticity and Registration<\/h2>\n

        This Katana has been certified as a “Tokubetsu Hozon Token(\u7279\u5225\u4fdd\u5b58\u5200\u5263)” by the most prestigious organization, NBTHK(The Nihon Bijutsu Token Hozon Kyokai).<\/p>\n

        “Tokubetsu Hozon Token(\u7279\u5225\u4fdd\u5b58\u5200\u5263)” is a higher grade than “Hozon Token(\u4fdd\u5b58\u5200\u5263)”<\/p>\n

        The certificate paper is included in the set.<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        The Koshirae(\u62f5\u3048, the sword mounting) has been certified by the NBTHK as a \u201cHozon Tosogu(\u4fdd\u5b58\u5200\u88c5\u5177, Preserved Sword Fittings)\u201d.<\/p>\n

        Each part of the Katana<\/h2>\n

        1. Toshin(\u5200\u8eab)<\/h3>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        Toshin means the entire blade of a sword.<\/p>\n

        The length, of course, and especially the sori (how curved it is) is an important point in appreciating Katana.<\/p>\n

        The sori allows the Japanese sword to be unbreakable and unbendable. Furthermore, it can effectively cut objects with less force.<\/p>\n

        The detailed theory is explained in the article below, if you are interested.<\/p>\n
