The founder of Bushidoshop

About Me

BushidoShop is a European specialist dedicated to the study, preservation, and responsible circulation of Japanese swords and related antiques.

Our focus lies in carefully curated works that reflect the technical, historical, and ethical foundations of the Japanese sword tradition. Each object carries its own narrative — shaped by the period in which it was made, the hands that forged it, and the cultural values it was intended to embody.

Japanese swords are approached here not as decorative objects, but as cultural artifacts in which craftsmanship and philosophy are inseparably linked. Principles such as honour, discipline, integrity, and loyalty are understood not as abstractions, but as values embedded in the material culture of the samurai tradition.

BushidoShop works with patience and selectivity. Emphasis is placed on authenticity, documented attribution, and long-term significance rather than volume or trend. Our role is not to impose interpretation, but to provide the context and quality that allow collectors to engage with these works in an informed and respectful manner.

Through this approach, BushidoShop aims to offer a meaningful entry into Japanese history  grounded in scholarship, restraint, and responsibility toward future custodians.

BushidoShop operates as a European-based specialist and conducts all transactions in full compliance with EU ownership, import, and export regulations. All objects are offered with documented provenance and handled in accordance with applicable cultural and legal standards.
