The Katana is probably the most predominantly recognised emblem of Japan’s feudal past. A shimmering blade that could pierce the heavens, forged by fire with absolute skill and precision, many have desired to own a Japanese sword and purchasing one is far simpler than you might expect. Located in Shinjuku, Japanese Sword Hataya is one such place that affords you the privilege of owning such a masterpiece. Of course these hand made masterpieces command a price but entering the store just to appreciate the beauty of the swords on display is adequate enough for most. If you are sated for more, then located just 2 minutes up the road is a Katana museum, however photography is strictly forbidden here.
