Edo Period Katana for Sale

Edo-period katana form the deepest field in collecting: two and a half centuries of peacetime craft, from the brilliant Osaka and Edo Shinto schools through the Shinshinto revival that closed the samurai age. Signatures and dates survive at far higher rates than in older work, papers are plentiful, and the range runs from accessible art swords to masterpieces by the most celebrated smiths of the era. For most collectors, connoisseurship begins with the Edo katana.
