Yarinohanzo: Crafting Authentic Japanese Swords

Welcome to the official blog of Yarinohanzo – where tradition meets precision.
We are passionate artisans, martial artists, and collectors united by a deep respect for the Japanese sword. Since our founding, Yarinohanzo has been dedicated to crafting and curating high-quality, battle-ready katana, wakizashi, and tanto for practitioners and enthusiasts around the world.

But our passion doesn’t stop at the blade. We also offer a complete selection of handcrafted wooden weapons, traditional martial arts uniforms, and authentic clothing tailored for practitioners of Japanese arts. Whether you’re training in Iaido, Kendo, Aikido, or Kenjutsu, we strive to support your journey with gear that reflects both quality and cultural respect.

This blog is our space to share what inspires us: the art of sword-making, the spirit of the samurai, and the timeless beauty of Japanese craftsmanship. From in-depth guides on blade geometry and steel types to stories from dojos and cutting tests, our goal is to inform, inspire, and connect a global community that values authenticity, functionality, and tradition.

Whether you’re a seasoned martial artist, a collector, or just beginning your journey, you’re welcome here.
