Item Specs

Bishamon is the Japanese Kami (or God) of war and evil. He is the patron of the warriors of Japan as well as the punisher of the evil. He is one of the Seven Gods of Fortune, according to Shinto belief. He is also one of the Four Guardian Gods protecting one of the Cardinal points, the North. According to legend he was called upon and came to the Prince Shotoku in 587 during the anti-Buddhist clans of Japan.

This is the Nagamaki. The length of the handle gives the sword superb leverage increasing the cutting power. The tang of the sword runs almost the entire length of the Tsuka. This is an impressive Katana perfect for display but also fully functional.

The katana includes a FREE sword bag but 1 tier sword stand is not included.
