Japanese Samurai Sword

This weekend, I setup my studio for table top photography. I’m excited to shoot more teaware and share future tastings!

Samurai sword history dates back to over 1300 years ago, which is roughly divided into four main periods - Koto (the old sword period, pre 1596), Shinto/Shinshinto (1597 to 1876) Gendai (1877 to the end of world war II) and the modern period known as Shinsaku.
