The very essence of the sword art is to carry out it's techniques as fast as you can in "Shinsoku", which means the speed of God. We are proud to announce that we have succeeded to develop shop's first original Iaito (a practice sword for Iaido ) , " Kenshin" ( The Spirit of Sword), to take full advantage of this secret.
Unlike modern sports, once a real fight began in old times, you had no idea when it would finish. So people in these times were very sensitive to choose a sword of good balance for themselves because an ill-balanced or heavy sword would needlessly exhaust yourself and sometimes would cause your death. Our Iaito, "Kenshin" was developed under the strict supervision . We devoted a large amount of time to the shape of the blade, depth and length of blade groove of Kenshin to copy the perfect balance of the original blade. If you hold the "Kenshin", you will be surprised that you do not feel its weight and you will notice how fabulously it fits in your hands!
It is the perfect feature for the "Shinsoku (super fast)" techniques of Japanese sword art. The secret of Japanese sword art is how to conduct the power derived from the circular movement of human body to a blade in the most efficient way. An ill-balanced and heavy weight sword blocks the flow of the power.
However on the other hand, if a sword is too lightweight, it is also no use because you can not utilize the centrifugal force derived from the appropriate weight of a sword. The technique carried out by a genuine Japanese blade with perfect balance to utilize the circler power of the human body is the most powerful and beautiful aspect.
