Kikusui no Mai Tombo (菊水の舞蜻蛉) – "The Dance of the Dragonfly in Chrysanthemum Water"
The Kikusui no Mai Tombo embodies the essence of harmony and Japanese tradition. Inspired by the elegance of chrysanthemum water (Kikusui) and the grace of the dancing dragonfly (Tombo), this model reflects a delicate balance of strength, lightness, and beauty. The dragonfly, a symbol of victory and perseverance in samurai culture, merges with the purity and serenity of chrysanthemum water, creating a sword imbued with profound meaning and emotion.

With this iaitō, every training session becomes a tribute to the spirit of resilience and elegance that once defined the warriors of old. The Kikusui no Mai Tombo is more than just a training sword—it is a spiritual companion for those who seek to refine their craft with dedication and respect.

Training Iaitō – Perfect for Beginners

Designed to accompany beginners as they start their martial arts journey, it is perfectly suited for disciplines such as Iaido, Aikido, and Kendo.

Tsuba Design: Kikusui
The tsuba features a Kikusui (chrysanthemum water) motif, symbolizing purity and elegance, perfectly complementing the spirit of the sword.
