Excellent! May 29, 2011
Reviewer: Anonymous Person  
A very affordable and stylish iaito. It is my first iaito but I can safely recommend. Special thanks to Miss. Sugiyama and Mr. Antoni for excellent customer service. Thank you for making it possible to customize it even further than initially possible! Shipment was quick and I'm pleased to say my iaito arrived in perfect condition. A true masterpiece and I'm very pleased to take my practise to a new level with this iaito.

Awesome September 16, 2010
Reviewer: Erik Chow from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada  
Recieved the iaido today, and it's everything I ever wanted. This is my first Iaido, but it seems lighter than everyone else's in my dojo. It's balance is mostly on the blade, but thats probably because I ordered with a light-weighted tsuka. I recommend throughly cleaning the blade before use. There is alot of black dirt when I first wiped the blade. (Construction residue?)

Great Iaito July 15, 2010
Reviewer: Marshall from Sanford, FL United States  
I received the Iaito on time and I am very pleased with the workmanship.  Beautiful Iaito and well balanced.  You can see the detail and care that was put into creating it...
The customer service was excellent and they went out of their way to  give me the colors I wanted when it wasn't offered.  Thank you Yasumasa san for the excellent customer service and guidance in my customization of this Iaito.

beautiful March 3, 2010
Reviewer: Carlier Fanny from Beuvry la Foret, Nord France  
I received my Higo Koshirae standard in 3/03/2010, it took 4 weeks.
I was impressed by the quality of the sword, for me, my new iaito is my soul.
The tsuka is brown (cotton) and the saya is chaishime and the tsuba is "Hyotan" (butterfly).
This iaito is not Heavy and it's very exiting to practice iaido with this sword.
Hight quality, best price, I recommend Tozando for all people who want to buy a japanese sword, or other hight quality japanese item!

Thanks to Tozando!

sorry for my bad english ^^
