More informations about this product
The special Jidai Koshirae 特製時代拵 is the entry-level Minosaka iaito.
The special Jidai Koshirae is a version of the Jidai Koshirae 時代拵 with limited options, allowing the supplier to offer a more accessible first price. This entry-level product has the same high-end finish quality as all Minosaka iaito. The only differences are the limited options and materials (identical to the Jidai Koshirae).
Its light blade (Standard) and balance allow easy practice, making the Jidai Koshirae Special a safe bet whether you are a novice or more experienced. It also allows prolonged practice without too much strain on the muscles and tendons of the arms, limiting the risk of tendon injuries.
Like all iaito, for practice, the Jidai Koshirae Special needs to be adapted to the practitioner. You must choose the blade length and handle length according to your size, but also according to the type of practice (ask your teacher or senior officers of your club).
The blade type for this fixture is a light (standard) blade, approximately 820g.
Nagasa length possible from 2.20尺 (66.6cm) to 2.55尺 (77.3cm).

The Minosaka Workshops :
The Iaito we offer come from Minosaka workshops in Gifu, Japan, and are manufactured in their workshop in Japan.
Gifu is one of the top places known for the forging of traditional sabres, including the Mino tradition, dating from the 14th century. Minosaka workshops are Iaito’s leading producers of tradition.
This traditional workshop manufactures its chrome-plated Zamak Iaito (Zinc and Aluminum alloy with some Copper) which is stainless.
This non-ferrous alloy makes the Iaito blunt and unsharpenable:
They are practical tools for Kata, without contact between the blades.
