Product Information & Size Chart

  • Nuguigami - Maintenance paper for Iaito & Shinken

    Made in Japan

    Contains: set of 2 sheets of 24 x 40 cm

    The term Nugui-Gami is composed of "Nugu" which means swap/wipe and "Kami/Gami", paper and is a Japanese traditional cleaning paper for Katana, nihonto, or Iaito.

    This product is used at the Minosaka workshop for cleaning their Iaito and Shinken blades.

    The Nuguigami is used to remove the oil on the blade after the blade maintenance. Although the blade of the Iaito does not require maintenance due to the nature of its allow (no rust), it is recommended to oil the blade regularly to nourish the Saya wood from the inside.

    Since this product contains 2 wide sheets, it is necessary to cut the needed size with a scissor before use.

    Good quality rice paper and kudos to Seido

    Sadly, the main item in my order, the Jisei iaito from Murayama, is no longer on sale due to known reasons, so allow me to also express gratitude for that magnificent Doto Koshirae, a sword that will serve me well for years to come. I just love it. And the rice paper will help keep it forever shiny. My deepest appreciation to Seido.

    Just one note on shipping: When sending weapons (no matter how blunt) to Czech Republic, please, don't use FedEx anymore, if there is any other option. They accept the package in Tokyo, fly it for 14k kilometres and then leave it stuck at their depot at the Prague airport. They simply don't want to deal with the local customs, so they decline to deliver it the last 20 kilometres based on bogus reasons (in my case they said about a iaito they don't deliver any weapons and pointed me to some bylaw saying they very specifically don't deliver just guns and explosives). I spent almost an entire day getting the information from them, hiring another freight company, dealing with the customs officer, spending quite a lot of extra money and time. FedEx simply sucks but even so, for holding my new and awesome sword in my hands it was worth it still.

    Thank you for your feedback.

    Since 2021, DHL does not accept Iaito any longer, and UPS requires special clearance for Czech Republic.
    Since Japan Post shipping is currently suspended until further notice, it is FedEx or regular Japan Post Air Shipping.
    Air Shipping requires an additional shipping cost of 3000 YEN due to its expensive cost, and we will not insure the package in case of loss, damage, or any other issue that could occur during transportation.
    If the customer agree with these conditions, we can ship via Japan Post Air, but we strongly advise against it.

    Excelent purchase

    In my experience , nothing beats rice paper at cleaning the blade. I have tried a lot of diferent tissues , paper and fabric, and nothing does the job as neatly as rice paper.

    Papier d'excellente qualité !

    Papier d'excellente qualité ! Bien qu'il n'y ait pas beaucoup de feuilles dans un sachet, elles sont grande et peuvent être réutilisées de nombreuses fois ! Suffisament épaisses, on peut facilement les laver à la main sans les déchirer et les réemployer encore et encore...
