Buy handmade tsuba

Tsuba are often worn separately. As a sign of honor for the samurai, Japan, or the martial arts they are part of. The tsuba is a symbolic replacement for wearing the katana. The tsuba can be worn on a chain around the neck or on the chest. 

Parts of samurai swords

We offer separate parts for samurai swords. In many swords, the grip can be detached by wooden pegs from the blade. Grips wear out faster than blades, and therefore we offer separate parts to refurbish them or, of course, to assemble a grip yourself. The seppa is the small guard at the bottom of the tsuba. It holds the tsuba in place. The hakabi is the plate under the seppa and seals the tang construction at the height of the blade. The grip is often wrapped with same, which is rough ray skin and was also sometimes used on handles of European sabres. Samurai sword grips are then wrapped with leather, cotton, or roughly woven silk. The tsuba is the guard of the samurai sword. These were often richly decorated.
