Hozon — Certified Swords for Sale
Hozon ("Worthy of Preservation") is the foundational NBTHK certification confirming a sword's authenticity, quality, and historical merit. Hozon papers verify that a blade is a genuine Japanese sword of recognized craftsmanship — making it an essential baseline for collectors. Many Hozon-certified pieces offer exceptional value and are actively sought by collectors building their first collections.
