“One who lives in forgetfulness dies in a dream.”

                                                                                         --Zen Proverb.

A rustle in the Sea of Trees, emerging in soundless shadows that move swiftly through the moonless night. Silent swords, welded by ghostly assassins leave not a trace of their presence, save for the corpses in their wake. Such violence can only result in one thing: the creation of a vengeful ghost.

Yurei is a sword fit for an assassin. This exceptional shinobigatana features a thread wrapped saya with leather accents, a black sukashi bamboo tsuba and black leather itomaki over black lacquered same with a large emperors node. The menuki are three family mons in steel and the fushigashira are antiqued bronze. The blade is T10 with an authentic clayed hamon and is 23” long in regular 10.5” length tsuka and 29” saya. This is a strong quick cutting blade in unusual and elegant koshirae and is also an exceptional sword for practitioners of ninjutsu.
