Tozando is a good store. I was there in February of this year. I purchased a Yumi (longbow) from them and had it shipped back home. I also got to try on one of their sets of Armour and hold an original Yari (Spear). I noticed that you ducked through those arches in the display room upstairs so I'm guessing you are well over 6 feet tall as well as muscularly built, in which case those armours they have might not fit you as they made them to fit the average Japanese body type. No harm in asking if they make custom/tailor made armour next time you visit.

First off thanks for checking out my video, I appreciate the support. Getting around in Japan is a bit of a challenge in certain situations due to my stature; I am 6 ft. even but very broad so door frame gives me a fight almost everywhere in Japan lol. But asking about custom armor is a great idea, I don't know why it didn't occur to me that I wouldn't fit the pre-ready gear lol I would've learned the hard way.

I recommend since you bought an Iaito sword that you also take lessons in the Iaido Martial Arts if you have the ability, I think you’ll love it since it also helps w/ focus, clarity, some meditative aspects. It also teaches u different parts of the sword, the fittings, how to handle a sword, etc etc… keep up the good work!

As a collector, I would go CRAZY in that store. Now "shinken" ("live blades") either antique or modern, is a WHOLE different story, when trying to bring it over to the States. (De-registering it, Ministry of Cultural Affairs for export, and I think a bout a 20 day processing period). I'm not even sure, once the process is done, how you can even get it past Japan's airport customs. I get all of my antiques via registered mail and it takes about a month to receive it/them.

Bro. I bought a real Katana from the Tokyo Area in the 90's and brought it back to Canada. Now, when I fly. 100% of the time, my luggage is thoroughly inspected. If you Fly back with a Katana (real or not) and declare it on your customs form, you can expect to ALWAYS be scrutinized at the border. (I was in Japan in the 90's and still, to this day I can expect all my luggage to be separated from the masses for further inspection. Shipping it is 100% the way to go.
