Sword Maintenance Kit for Iaito & Shinken
Made in Japan
Contains: Choji oil (20 mL), Nuguigami, Uchiko, and Uchiko powder.
This maintenance kit for your Iaito or Shinken features Choji Abura (Japanese clove oil) to nourish the Saya of the Iaito or to maintain and protect the blade of a Shinken. Further, it also includes a Uchiko (a chalk powder "ball") and Uchiko powder used for the maintenance of steel blades. The third item in the box is the Nuguigami, a special paper to wipe off excessive oil, and in case of a Shinken also the Uchiko powder.
Same content for each box, only the container changes.
Utilization on Iaito:
Please be aware that the blades of the Iaito are made of chromed alloy and therefore do not need any maintenance. We recommend oiling the blade regularly to help nourish the wood of the Saya from the inside, but we strongly advise against using Uchiko powder as it might slightly scratch the alloy.
Prices vary depending on selected options.

Jidai Koshirae Minosaka Iaito Special Edition (2.45 Shaku)
Made in Japan (Gifu)
Hamon: Midare
Habaki: Muji (Brass) | Seppa: Brass
Tsuba: Special Namako | Fuchi/Kashira : Special Black Ishime | Menuki: See product options
Tsukaito & Sageo: Cotton, Tetsukon (blue-grey) | Saya: Kuroishime | Shitodome: SilverThe Jidai Koshirae is of a standard Japanese quality that offers a very good quality/price rate and one of our best sellers for many years.
Our team has been recommending this model for several years to Iaido beginners. It also makes a fine choice for Aikidoists looking for a practical Iaito.
In honor of this flagship model's success, Minosaka has decided to release a special edition with unique and individual details curated by our team (depending on the reception of this special release, the workshop may look to introduce more unique iterations in the future).
Available exclusively in a 2.45 shaku (74.2 cm) blade length, these Special Jidai Koshirae Models features a Midare blade Hamon (pattern).
The fittings feature a brass Habaki and Seppa, and a special edition Namako (sea cucumber) Tsuba with a delicate pattern. Please note that this exclusive Tsuba is not available on other Iaito or as a standalone product. Both Tsukaito and Sageo are crafted from traditional Tetsukon (blue-grey) Kakucho weaved cotton, while the Fuchi and Kashira are a special-edition Ishime set in an elegant black finish.
The Saya is coated in highly durable Kuroishime (black sand-textured) lacquer, which is the strongest, most scratch-resistant lacquer available. In addition, the Saya is accented with a silver Shitodome.
Each Iaito in this limited run is a unique piece, with its individual identity defined by the distinct Menuki set you choose from our product variants:- Ichiringiku (一輪菊) - Chrysanthemum
- Botan (牡丹) - Peony flower
- Sansho (山椒) - Japanese pepper
- Suisen (水仙) - Narcissus
- Botangiku (牡丹菊) - Peony Chrysanthemum flower
