We are pleased to introduce Touken Takarado—a distinguished and licensed dealer in Japanese fine arts, with a refined focus on Nihonto (Japanese swords) and Tosogu (sword fittings). Based in Japan and operating under the nation’s rigorous antique regulations, Touken Takarado upholds the highest standards of authenticity, integrity, and cultural stewardship.

The name Takarado (宝刀堂), meaning “Treasure Sword Hall,” reflects the gallery’s core mission: to curate and present objects of exceptional historical and artistic value. The collection includes blades forged by celebrated smiths, exquisite gendaito, and an outstanding selection of sword fittings such as tsuba, fuchi-kashira, menuki, and complete koshirae—each a testament to the aesthetic and technical mastery that defines Japan’s warrior heritage.

Beyond its collection, Touken Takarado offers appraisal, consultation, and buyer agent services, guiding both seasoned collectors and new enthusiasts through acquisitions, valuations, and historical research.

At Touken Takarado, Japanese swords are not viewed merely as collectibles, but as living vessels of tradition—each blade a narrative of time, purpose, and unparalleled craftsmanship. We are honored to help preserve this legacy and share it with discerning collectors worldwide.

We welcome you to explore Touken Takarado and discover the timeless elegance of Japanese sword artistry.
