CURRENTLY AVAILABLE ANTIQUE JAPANESE SAMURAI SWORDS

Monday, June 4th, 2012

Top Page of Japanese Sword Catalogue 42” width=

2024 is the Year of the Dragon. Dragons symbolize power, honour, luck and success. They possess enormous talents and have high standards of excellence. The dragon also represents the darkness of chaos, as it lives in the shadows while at the same time holds the promise of possibility. The most dangerous threat you face holds your potentiality in its clutches.

The dragon encourages us to act heroically as this will ultimately lead to a more meaningful and treasured life. So let’s continuously raise our own personal standards. Stand for excellence. Act heroically. And life’s treasures will abound for those that live accordingly.

We have JUST released Catalogue 42 to great reception! Please fill out our Contact Unique Japan Form to join our VIP Email list to gain access to Catalogue 42 and future catalogues BEFORE they are released publicly.

There are still some excellent swords left in Catalogues 41, 40, 39 and 38.

Please download our beautiful sword catalogues below to view these swords and learn all about the incredible world of collecting genuine antique Japanese samurai swords.

We look forward to serving you.
