  • 鯉口の「かたさ」「ゆるさ」はどのような場合、希望すればいいですか?
    鯉口のかたさにつきましては、 基本的には、鞘を斜め上に上げても、刀身がするりと抜け出るほどゆるくはございませんが、時々、制作時にそのようなゆるさのものになってしまう場合がございます。 本来の模造刀の目的である”飾り刀”としてのご使用には全く問題ないことでございますので、工房でも私どものほうでも「良品」として判断させていただいております。 しかしながら、前撮りやコスプレのご利用でお持ち歩きされる場合など、もしそのような「ゆるさ」がお好みでない場合には、「かため」をご選択されるとよろしいと存じます。(※陣太刀掛台を同時にご購入されたお客様の刀は「かため」のものを、こちらでお選びさせていただいておりますので、ご安心ください。) 「かため」は、「多少斜めにしても刀身がするりと抜け出ない程度」以上の硬さとなります。 ただし、抜くのに、力がいる場合もございます。また、「かため」をご指定の場合でも、逆さまにすると、ほとんどの刀身は重みで下に落ちますので、お取り扱いにはご注意ください。 「舞台でするりと刀身を抜きたい」など、滑らかな動きをご希望の場合には「ゆるめ」をご指定ください。

  • How should I care for and store an imitation sword?
    Those who are worried that "Swords are delicate and troublesome to care for, so I'm afraid to use them!😫". Please be assured that imitation swords are so durable that they are said to "do nothing" compared to real swords. The only thing I would like you to pay attention to is the rust on the blade. Based on my experience, if you leave the blade with moisture and dirt on it, the chances of it rusting are high! Well, whether it's kitchen knives or scissors, anything made of metal will rust if left dirty. For that reason, when displaying the blade unsheathed for a long period of time, when frequently touching the blade for cosplay, etc., bedding with high humidity If you store it inside, you should consider that it needs to be taken care of. Regarding how to clean your sword...seriously, please purchase the Handkerchief for Cleaning Imitation Swords" from the "Sword accessories" menu. This is a cute handkerchief that is carefully selected by staff who have repeatedly cleaned the imitation swords at our Samurai Experience Center. As for how to take care of it, feel free to wipe it off. It is also recommended to use it for wiping the blade, wiping the scabbard, and both sides are gauze, depending on the part that is dirty. Also, regarding the place to display and store the imitation sword, A place that is not exposed to direct sunlight, does not get hot even in summer, and has low humidity would be suitable. Basically, I don't think you need to be so sensitive. It depends on the environment of each customer's room, so if you're really worried about it, I think it's safe to store it in a cool and dark place (laughs) In addition, if you are worried about leaving the sword alive, wrap it in a sword bag, cardboard at the time of delivery, furoshiki, etc. and store it occasionally (once every six months...) to check that it is not rusting. I think it would be good to check and take care of it just in case. In addition, when using the blade with the blade removed, if you see dirt on the blade from your hands, lightly clean it every time, and it will last a long time. However, it's an imitation sword, so I'll repeat this over and over again, but you don't have to be so nervous about it♪😁
  • Should I buy a lot of care handkerchiefs?
    Regarding care handkerchiefs, if they are for normal viewing purposes, such as displaying them indoors, occasionally holding them in your hand, or using them for cosplay photo shoots, please Only one is enough. Since the handkerchief is 28 cm square, if you use the front and back of the handkerchief separately for the blade and sheath, the area that gets dirty will be limited. available!
  • There was a hole in the handle of the imitation sword I bought, what is this?
    From time to time, we receive inquiries like this from customers who have purchased "Kashuu Kiyomitsu" at our store. This "hole in the handle" is actually an important part called Mekugi that connects the blade and the handle. In the process of making the sword, a craftsman puts Nishijin brocade and sharkskin on the handle, and then pierces the handle with a wooden nail. I'm bored. *When Nishijin fabric is layered on the pattern, such as "Kashuu Kiyomitsu", the area around the hole may become fuzzy. If you are concerned about it, please cut it carefully. So, if you're worried about it, don't worry, it's not a defective product. Also, if you look closely at the hole, you will be able to see the wooden part that is the "mekugi". This hole is a great [proof] of a realistic imitation sword that is handcrafted by a craftsman. *The eye nails protrude and dent about -3mm to +5mm on both sides, but there is no problem, so don't worry. Also, Of course, if you apply force in one direction, the nail will come out, but please don't pull it out (laughs) In addition, there are many other interesting parts of the imitation sword that you can only understand when you hold it in your hand. I would like to play the role of "mekugi" so that the relationship between the sword and the customer becomes like "blade and handle" by looking carefully and enjoying it, researching and increasing knowledge.
  • I want to take better care of the imitation sword I bought!
    The newly born imitation sword just after completion has a slightly rough appearance. Therefore, at our shop, we try to inspect our swords with the aim of creating a brilliant appearance that will impress customers who hold the sword in their hands. "If you find any of the following areas that require maintenance on your imitation sword after use, please kindly and carefully maintain it." [Blade] If there is something like a black stain on the blade, it is oil or residue from the manufacturing process, so clean it with a handkerchief-like gauze or terry cloth. Please use it and wipe it with a little force. [Handle roll] If there is any adhesive left on the metal fittings, wipe it off with a tissue containing alcohol. Also, if the Nishijin weave is sandwiched between the tsukamaki and the threads are sticking out, cut them with scissors for eyebrow trimming. If you are concerned about the double-sided tape that is used to fix the handle, you can use the tip of an eyebrow scissor to make a cut in the visible double-sided tape. It is beautiful if you hide it under the pattern roll. [Scabbard] Gently wipe off any oil that remains on the scabbard after gripping it with a clean handkerchief or soft cloth. If a transparent adhesive-like substance remains, it may be possible to remove it by wiping it with a cloth like a cleaning handkerchief, rubbing it with the pad of your finger. If it still does not come off, apply a small amount of a remover such as a sticker remover to a tissue and apply it gently to the stain, and it may come off cleanly. Be careful not to rub too hard with your fingernails, as the paint may come off. *The above maintenance method can only be applied to the imitation swords sold at our store.
  • The imitation sword I bought had a scratch on it!
    First of all, to those who are reading this question. "We sincerely apologize for causing you discomfort." ...I'm very sorry, but if it's okay with you, please take a look at the following. Could you please confirm this? The imitation swords we sell are made up of various parts (blade, habaki, scabbard, handle, etc.), just like real swords. , is made by hand. Therefore, unlike mass production in factories, there are differences in each one, and each is a one-of-a-kind imitation sword. For this reason, the imitation swords we deliver have small scratches and small lacquer imperfections, but they are not noticeable, but there are many. However, after repeated inspections, we will only ship products that have been judged to have no problems in terms of use, safety, and quality. (*Please understand that the scabbard and scabbard metal fittings are originally sacrificial parts to protect the blade.) Also, the vividness of the coating of the scabbard, the color of the metal fittings, the blade, the handle, and so on. It is only then that the katana develops its own individuality, and when you hold it in your hand, it gives you a deep sense of charm. Therefore, the ``individuality'' of the sword is a testament to the fact that it is hand-made. I would appreciate it if you could think of it as a thing. In addition, regarding the imitation swords that were found to be ``problems in delivery'' during the inspection, please rest assured that they will be sold separately as outlet products on an irregular basis. don't. ・・・If you can accept the scars that the sword is born with as "the uniqueness of the sword", please keep it as it is and love the one sword in this world. I would appreciate it if you could come. If you are still unsatisfied, please contact us by email (okaimono@shisouan.com) so that we can process your exchange or return. At that time, please send us a reason for the exchange and a picture of the problem. Also, please do not throw away the box as it will be required when shipping the replacement item. *Returns will be accepted as soon as possible for defects that pose safety problems during use (large cracks in the blade or scabbard, loose habaki, missing eye nails, etc.). *Please note that we cannot accept returns or exchanges for items that we recognize as non-defective. *Exchanges are limited to before use (except after taking it outside or after displaying it for a while). Also, please understand that even before use, depending on the degree of damage, we may decide that the product is not worthy of being replaced.
  • Can I repair the imitation swords I bought at Mushadokoro?
    It is possible to repair some of the imitation swords sold at our shop. (*Swords that can be repaired will be covered with smooth fittings as shown in the photo below.) As a countermeasure, Cracked or damaged scabbard → Replace scabbard Scratches on the blade, peeling, deformation → blade replacement Metal fitting damage, discoloration → metal fitting replacement etc. However, I would like you to understand that repairing a sword involves disassembling the sword once, so the burden on the craftsman for each repair is more than making a new sword. It's big in Until now, For customers who request repairs, the craftsman's warm courtesy, "If you care about your sword, will be handled with a minimum fee. However, The number of requests for repairs increases year by year, and the burden on the craftsmen is increasing. , I'm getting sick of it. There is such a thing, and I am very sorry, but this time, when considering the shortage of craftsmen in the imitation sword world, the spread of imitation swords, and the continuation of the traditional techniques carved into each part, We have decided to ask our customers to purchase new swords instead of repairing them as much as possible. . . . Of course, it is a great honor for both the craftsmen and us that the swords in their possession remain attached to them for a long time, and we are always happy to receive such reports. We are here. However,At this rate, repairs will be repeated, and while the burden on craftsmen will increase, the demand for craftsmen for each part will decrease. You will not be able to create swords. (By the way, throwing away swords with non-burnable garbage is a shame for the environment, but recently, the demand for scrap metal has increased, and metal products other than iron are also being purchased at high prices. Therefore, if you don't mind, when disposing of your sword, please consider using a nearby scrap metal purchaser. You can receive it.) For those who still wish to have it repaired, we will list the repair costs as follows. Fixed repair fee 13 ,000 yen (tax included) (Including material costs, craftsman fees, shipping from our shop to the workshop, and shipping from our shop to the customer) +Other than that, the shipping fee from the customer to our shop will be borne by the customer (advance payment around 2000 yen). Did you notice anything here? It's the same price as buying a new sword! and. that's right. Think of it as a milestone, and please welcome a new sword. I thought it was a nice idea, but some customers see the damaged sword and think it was a scapegoat for them. . Swords are called talismans, and are thought to protect the owner like a talisman. If so, The longevity of the sword is the same as the amulet, instead of repairing the damaged sword and continuing to hold it, the god of the sword who protected it through the sword. While thanking the soul, I think it would be a good idea to dispose of it and place the god (sword) in its new form by your side. I hope you will consider it. When requesting repairs, please be sure to email us with your name, the name of the sword you wish to repair, and where you would like it repaired (preferably with an image). Please contact us.
  • The sword has become too easy to pull out of the scabbard. Can you fix it?
    The looseness of the Koiguchi is natural for a sword. By the way, the looseness of the Koiguchi is not a problem at all when handling the sword. Because, as a swordsman, it is customary to put your thumb on the tsuba to hold it down. However, many people who handle imitation swords do not have the technique of fixing the tsuba with their thumbs like swordsmen do, so it is difficult for them to come loose when wearing a sword or taking a picture! I think there are some people who say. We are sorry to inform you that the imitation swords in our shop are made of durable materials such as a wooden scabbard and an alloy mouthpiece, but it changes little by little depending on your environment. (Some of them are made of resin, but they are the same.) If you want to prevent the Koiguchi from loosening, please be careful if you repeatedly pull the sword out of the scabbard and put it back in violently (to the extent that the Koiguchi snaps sharply!). However, I think that the Koiguchi will soon wear out and slip out of the scabbard. (In other words, for those who are having trouble with the Koiguchi being too hard, it will be easier to remove if the Koiguchi is worn down.) All the imitation swords enrolled at our Samurai Experience Center have loose mouths. So, in the case of a long sword, if you fix the tsuba and cord with a string like this, it won't come off suddenly, so you can rest assured! You can use the same method to prevent the Uchikatana from coming off by itself, but It is very difficult to fix the mouthpiece once it has become loose. In addition, we haven't tried the method of putting a piece of wood in the Koiguchi that some people recommend to fix it loosely, so I don't really know (sweat) If you are interested, Try searching the internet. We would like to introduce a method to prevent the koiguchi from becoming loose. A master swordsman may seem quick to insert and remove the scabbard, but his actions are efficient, quiet and beautiful. I never made any movements that would damage the tools. So, don't be fooled by the unrealistic and violent movements of some historical dramas and anime, please handle your sword with sophisticated movements that are kind to the scabbard! That should make the sword last longer. Still, if you are not satisfied, there is no choice but to exchange the scabbard... We apologize for the inconvenience, but regarding the replacement of the scabbard, it will be treated as a repair, so please refer to the question above, "Q.
  • Oh, it's hard! The blade is bent!
    Regarding the imitation sword you have, when you stand up the sword and appreciate the "form" of the tip of the blade, you will see that the blade is bent, and you may ask, "Is it a defective product?" We sometimes have customers who are worried and contact us. But don't worry! It is surprisingly not well known that the line from the tip of the sword to the center is not always straight. And you can read the age of the sword by the degree of inclination (curvature) of the tip. Therefore, please understand that "a bent sword" does not mean a "defective product". Again, the imitation swords we sell are made by craftsmen who have worked hard to create the same characteristics as real swords, so please take good care of them. I would appreciate it if you could keep it at hand.
  • The string on my sword has come untied.
    In such a case, please check the knot by searching online or in the materials, and tie it steadily. Strangely enough, the more you care about your sword, the more you love it. In addition, regarding our "Yagen Toshiro", we have made an original knot so that the charm of the tanto will be more attractive. If you would like to use the official knot, please check the internet search and reference material, as with other swords, but if you would like our original knot, please check here don't. (*I think it's a little hard to see because it's a hand-drawn illustration, so please compare it with the photo on the sales page.)
  • I don't know how to assemble the sword stand...
    [Sword rack assembly instructions] *Depending on the sword rack we deliver, there are also "simple assembly types" that are easy to handle. See below as strong>. ◇How to assemble the sword stand For instructions on how to assemble the ``Ippontokakedai'' and ``Double swordkakedai'',here For instructions on how to assemble the Jindachi Kakedai, please here How to assemble the Tantokakedai is here *If you insert it incorrectly, it will be difficult to dismantle it again. (However, depending on the assembly order of each part, it is okay if you make it easier for the customer) [*Please check first] In order to maintain safety, the sword rack is designed to be so that the wooden parts are tightly engaged. The convex hole is larger than the concave hole, This really fits , but in the end, it's made to fit perfectly. As evidence of that, there has never been a sword stand that has not been assembled! 🤓 This is because the mesh is hardened for safety so that it doesn't wobble when you hang a heavy and long sword, so it was a struggle when assembling it. If you do, we recommend using a rubber hammer or a wooden mallet and thinking like a temple carpenter. I will. In addition, if you are worried about assembly, we also accept assembly at our shop. See below for details. [◇Assembly points] ① You should push it firmly with force! ... If you give up here, you won't be able to assemble it because the replacement part has the same specifications. Use a wooden mallet or rubber hammer to tap in hard-to-reach areas. (Even if the convexity is larger than the concave, it will fit.) (When using a wooden mallet, place a piece of cloth between it and the stand to prevent scratches.) ② If you are a woman, you should push in so strongly and straight that you think you might be pushing too hard! ・・・In some cases, it is recommended that you use a mallet, floor, wall, etc. to assemble. ③ Push it in while checking carefully! ・・・If there is any distortion while pushing the parts or assembling them, it may cause damage! Make sure that each part is perpendicular/parallel inserted into the hole. It doesn't have to be a little vertical as long as you keep an eye on it. ④ Don't worry about scraped parts and cracks, just push them in! ・・・During assembly, the joints may be scraped or small cracks may appear, but the scraped parts will not be visible after completion, and there are also cracks. It is small and inconspicuous, and there is no safety problem, so we hope you can rest assured. 【How to assemble the single sword rack and double sword rack】 One, the introduction has become long, but let's check the parts first. 2.Insert ③ into the side hole of ①. Make sure the convex side is facing down. If it's hard to get in, it's okay if the convex side is up. Three, plug in what you did in step two into both. Both left and right, tightly to the back! The base is now complete. Fourth, then assemble the upper part. While checking the unevenness of ④, slide it into the horizontal hole at the bottom of ②. *At this time, pay attention to the vertical direction of ④! It's better to have a gentle curve! Five, from another angle, it looks like this. Six, insert the left and right in the same way until the end. Please note that if there is distortion, rattling will occur. 7. Insert the lower projections of ② extending from the upper part (②+④+②) assembled in step 6 into the recesses on the base (①+③+①) on the upper side of ① at the same time. Apply force evenly to the left and right. *There are many people who struggle with this process, but the best advice we can give you is to cheer them on, "Do your best!😅(bitter smile) ) *If it doesn't fit firmly into the hole, ④ may be upside down, so compare it with the photo to confirm. *If you find it hard to get into, please see the above [◇Precautions when assembling] now. Please take a look. *If it is still difficult to enter, try swapping ① left and right. It is recommended to turn the hanging stand upside down on a piece of cardboard, cover the joint with a handkerchief, and hit it with a wooden mallet as if you were a temple carpenter. 8, you're done. As a reward for your hard work, please lay your favorite sword here and love it to your heart's content. 😉 *Please check here first, and if assembly still does not work , First of all, please let us know by e-mail to our shop.

(*Because the parts of the stand are made tightly, it is difficult to dismantle it once it is assembled. Therefore, please note that the shipping fee will be higher. We recommend that you assemble it with.) 【How to assemble the Jindachi rack】 First, let's check the parts. Insert ② into each vertical horizontal hole of ② and ①. As shown in the picture, please put ② so that it becomes a △ for ①. *There are cases where ② and ① are already attached. Three, at this point, it doesn't fit well, so please think of it as something that slips and comes off. Fourth, place the upper part assembled in [Step 3] on the base of ⑤. While checking the angles of ① and ②, support ① with your left hand and ② with your right hand, and slowly insert it into the hole of ⑤. Five, yes! Even at this point, it's still wobbly, so please don't worry. 6.To fix it, hold ① with your left hand, lightly press it against ⑤, and gently turn it over. Firmly insert ④ into the side hole of ① that protrudes slightly from the bottom of ⑤. *At this time, regarding how to insert ④, the flat side of ④ should be the base side of ⑤. If you pass the slightly tapered end of ④ through the side hole of ①, ④ will be difficult to pull out of the hole and will be strong. ButAs long as it's firmly fixed, there's no problem for the time being! Seventh, with this one step, the parts are firmly fixed! However, if you put the sword on and take it off frequently, without realizing it, ④ may loosen and come off the hole. If you think that it is wobbly, immediately check [Procedure 6]. *Also, there are times when ④ accidentally falls under the sword stand, so be careful not to suck it up with a vacuum cleaner. 8. Finally, put ③ on ①. Gently fit the hole (3) into the protrusion protruding from (1). At this time, make sure that the recess for the sword is facing the base. * This completes the assembly, but If ③ shakes when you hang the sword, apply wood glue to the top of ① and fix the connection with ③. Please get rid of it. 9. It's a spectacular sight when you line up the Jindachi-kakedai ♪ 【How to assemble the tanto rack】 Is it okay if I don't show you how to assemble it because it's so easy? I think (bitter smile) *If distortion occurs after assembling the tantokakedai, It may be improved by the following method, so please try it. ①Replace the four legs of the tanto-kakedai into other holes. (2) When placed on a horizontal surface, pull out the legs that are floating above the ground and make them the same length as the other legs. Also, if there is a leg that does not go all the way in, you may be able to insert it all the way in by screwing it counterclockwise. Conversely, when removing it, turning it clockwise may make it easier to remove. ※However! If you force it in, it may be damaged, so please do not force it. *We also accept exchanges for items that are missing, damaged, or incomplete, so please let us know.
