        Katana Registration<\/h2>\n

        All Real Katanas are registered with the Board of Education of the prefecture in which they are located.<\/p>\n

        Please note that the original registration certificate must be returned to the Board of Education prior to export, but a copy will be enclosed with your purchase.<\/p>\n

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

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        The Toshin<\/em> refers to the entire blade of the Katana.<\/p>\n

        When evaluating a Katana, the blade\u2019s length\u2014and particularly its sori<\/strong> (curvature)\u2014is a key point of appreciation.<\/p>\n

        The sori<\/em> is what enables the Japanese sword to remain unbreakable and unbendable, while also allowing it to cut through objects with remarkable efficiency and minimal force.<\/p>\n

        If you’re interested in the scientific background of this, we explain the theory in detail in the following article:<\/p>\n
