 Iaido is considered by many to be the epitome of modern budo. Scarce in its movement, simple in its elegance, Iaido is marked by one essential set of profound relations - one breath, one cut, one victory. Armed against only him/herself, the Iaido practitioner has come to embody the Japanese aesthetic of minimalism. Because each movement is marked by the spiritiual depth of the Iaido practitioner, we at Tozando have made it our obligation to provide that practitioner only with equipment that is capable of harboring self-cultivation.
Our Shinsakuto and Iaito are designed and crafted in accordance with Japan's long spiritual history of the sword, NIHONTO. Our blades and fittings are all smithes and selected in relation to the ideals of form and function that marks Japan's legendary weapon as both lethal and sacred, beautiful and talismanic. As the Iaido practitioner strives to give more and more attention to details in his/her daily practice, we too at Tozando strive to meet that same attention to detail in the crafting of all of our products.
