Hozon Katana for Sale
Hozon ("Worthy of Preservation") certified katana offer an accessible entry into authenticated nihonto collecting. The NBTHK Hozon designation confirms a blade's authenticity, craftsmanship, and historical merit — essential baseline assurance for any serious purchase. Hozon katana span every era and school of Japanese swordmaking, from storied Koto masterworks to refined Shinto-era blades. Many represent outstanding value, as the Hozon tier includes pieces that may be candidates for future higher certification.
