Iaito Minosaka Musashi Koshirae upsto we were impressed by hisThe Musashi Koshirae Iaito is a very simple Iaito model, alike the sword of Miyamoto Musashi. According to one of the originals (Musashi possessed several swords), this model is emphasizes utility and efficiency, as demonstrated with its very simple Kojiri reinforcement on the Saya.
