At Zanshin we offer the finest sword furniture tavailable. Each piece is individually cast using the lost wax process in the United States.   Each tsuba, fuchi and kashira is a faithful reproduction of museum-quality originals taken from private collection.  All are hand made using high quality steel, the traditional metal of choice.  Except where stated all menuki are made of solid silver and are either gold plated, blackened or lightly highlighted to bring out the fine details of the original antique.  The gold plating on the menuki is a heavy layer of electronically applied pure 24K gold.  Please browse our line of pre-matched themes or select from the individually offered parts to create the mix that is most meaningful to you.  Add your individual selection to your choice of steel, tsuka color, saya color and tsuka wrap style to create your own personal sword. (Sword parts are currently available only with sword purchase).
