Togakure Shinobigatana: The Ultimate Ninja Sword
At Yarinohanzo, our mission has always been to preserve the essence of traditional Japanese swordsmanship while pushing the boundaries of functional craftsmanship. To mark our 18th anniversary, we proudly introduce a truly unique piece: the Togakure Shinobigatana, a special edition Ninja Tō inspired by a rare model seen in a private collection in Japan.
This is not just a sword—it is a faithful tribute to the spirit of Togakure Ryū Ninjutsu. Conceived for serious practitioners, collectors, and martial historians, the Togakure Shinobigatana is a fully functional, battle-ready ninja sword that combines stealth, precision, and exceptional build quality.
A True Ninja-To, Forged with Purpose
Unlike standard katana, the Togakure Shinobigatana features a shorter and wider blade, perfectly suited for close-quarters combat and fast, fluid movements. The blade measures shorter than a typical katana, with an extended 14 cm kissaki, designed to improve cutting efficiency and thrusting precision.
Forged from T-10 high carbon steel, the blade is clay-tempered to reveal a stunning Gunome Choji hamon, applied in the traditional Japanese style polish. This isn’t simply aesthetic—it’s a sign of authentic heat treatment that ensures strength, flexibility, and a razor-sharp edge.
Crafted for Strength, Balance, and Authenticity
- Full tang construction, secured with two Mekugi bamboo pins
- Alternate Hinerimaki-style Tsukamaki using black cotton Tsukaito
- Genuine black Samegawa (ray skin) with Hishigami inserts for added grip and structure
- Black lacquered Saya with Koiguchi, Kurikata, and Kojiri made from real buffalo horn
This Shinobigatana is more than elegant—it’s durable, balanced, and ready for real training. It’s suitable for both beginners entering the path of Ninjutsu and advanced practitioners perfecting their technique.
Presentation Meets Precision
Each Togakure Ninja Tō comes with a refined burgundy cotton sword bag, making it an ideal gift for a fellow practitioner or a standout addition to any high-end martial arts collection. As with all Yarinohanzo blades, this piece has undergone strict quality control to ensure it meets the standards demanded by both martial artists and collectors.
A Sword Born from Tradition, Reimagined with Expertise
This limited-edition Shinobigatana stands out not only for its functionality but also for its historical and cultural relevance. Directly inspired by an original model from a Japanese private collection, it is a rare example of a modern sword built to reflect the true nature of the ninja’s weapon—simple, effective, and deadly when wielded with skill.
As an exclusive Yarinohanzo design, the Togakure Shinobigatana cannot be found anywhere else. It’s a unique creation that celebrates 18 years of dedication to Japanese sword culture.
