Shikomizue is the name of a type of Koshirae or mounting, which literally means "prepared stick". There was a blade placed in a stick-like mounting, in order to conceal that it was a sword, for this reason the Shikomizue became very popular in the Meji period (1868-1912), when the carrying of Katana was forbidden.

The Shikomizue is constructed only by Japanese craftsmen in Gifu, not created by either non-Japanese labor or by mass production system: please allow us 3-4 weeks for the production.

*A zinc /aluminium alloy is not made for cutting or any action which involves any impact to another object.
