Mino Katana for Sale

The Mino tradition, centered in Seki (modern Gifu), produced Japan's most practical and widely used battle swords. Mino smiths like Kanesada, Kanemoto (famous for the "three-cedar" sanbon-sugi hamon), and Muramura created blades renowned for their cutting ability and durability. The Mino style — characterized by togari-ba (pointed) hamon elements and robust construction — became the dominant school in the Sengoku (Warring States) period when demand for effective weapons was at its peak.
