INTRODUCTION

All works of art that come into our possession are merely lent to us. Our task is to take care of them asbest we can and preserve them for the future. This also applies to Japanese sword sets – KOSHIRAE.

The Japanese sword is one of the most interesting art objects ever and one of the most effective weapons. Their quality is high for a simple reason. Each part of the sword and the set is made by a different craftsman who specializes only in this activity and is therefore able to perfect his work.
