We are pleased to introduce Nihonto Art, a specialist dealer dedicated to the timeless legacy of the Japanese sword. Founded by collector and connoisseur Nick Ricupero, Nihonto Art reflects a lifelong reverence for the artistry, symbolism, and historical significance of the samurai tradition. While the gallery embraces the full cultural spectrum of the warrior class, it is the nihontō—the Japanese sword—that lies at the heart of its mission.
Each piece in the collection is carefully sourced from Japan and hand-selected for its uniqueness, historical depth, and artistic merit. Spanning over eight centuries, the inventory ranges from early classical blades to rare and distinguished works from later periods, offering collectors a dynamic and ever-evolving selection of artifacts.
At Nihonto Art, preservation through education is a core value. Whether you are beginning your journey or seeking a specific piece to complete a refined collection, the gallery stands ready to assist with expertise and discretion. We invite you to explore, inquire, and return often—as each visit offers a new encounter with the enduring soul of the samurai.
