I have been practicing iaido for more than 7 years, yet I have yet to actually own a single real sword. So I will show you the process of finding a sword that I can call my life partner. Let's take an adventure to various sword shops all over Japan.

●The shop we visited this time: Tozando
https://tozandojapanesesword.com/
●Tozando Online Shop
https://tozandoshop.com/letsaskshogo *This is my affiliate link!
Everything I use for my katana training is bought at this shop! I still use the first training katana I bought in 2016, and it is still in good shape!
