Tokubetsu Hozon Tachi for Sale

Tokubetsu Hozon ("Especially Worthy of Preservation") tachi pair the elegance of Japan's early curved sword form with Tokubetsu Hozon papers, the NBTHK rank one step above Hozon. Worn edge-down by mounted samurai and predating the katana, the tachi reached its height during the Koto era. The Tokubetsu Hozon designation confirms each blade as a well-preserved, faithfully attributed work of recognized quality — a strong middle ground for collectors seeking historically important tachi below the Juyo tier.
