TANTO BAKO(Taikokumon model)
This is the top model of the dagger display cases I am currently making.
Tanto swords can be displayed together with their mountings.
*Starting August 18, 2025, we will be using the world's blackest fabric, "Taikyomon," for the back and base. This will make the background and base completely black, making the blade appear to float more than before, and allowing for clearer photography of the blade.
*Sword and sword mount not included
*The design may be changed without notice due to improvements, etc.
■Features
・Can be wall-mounted (see here for installation instructions and here for wall-mounting instructions)
・You can display short swords, wakizashi, and mountings with a total length of 60cm or less.
- There is a storage space under the base where you can store and keep your shirasaya and appraisal certificates (tubes) (enough for 3 shirasaya).
- We use high color rendering LEDs, similar to those used in museums, so you can enjoy viewing the swords in soft light, which is less likely to strain your eyes.
- The front door can be locked in two places to prevent theft and provide peace of mind even if you have small children or pets.
- Humidity control material is included to protect the sword from sudden changes in humidity. (The humidity control material only serves a secondary role. It does not automatically regulate humidity, so if the humidity exceeds 60%, please use the room's air conditioning to dehumidify. When displaying the sword, a humidity level of 40-60% is ideal.)
- The included spotlights (2700K orange x 2, 5000K white x 2) can be dimmed using the dial.
The front panel is anti-reflective, reducing glare and allowing for stress-free viewing and photography of swords. To clean fingerprints or other dirt, please use the designated camera lens cleaner (available on Amazon).
- Blocks 99% of UV rays in the 300-380nm range that are harmful to art pieces.
・High earthquake resistance
When earthquake resistance tests were conducted assuming the sword would be hung on a wall, it was found that it could be stored without damage to the blade even in four earthquakes of magnitude 6+ and 7: the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, the Kumamoto Earthquake, the Niigata Chuetsu Earthquake, and the Nankai Trough (anticipated).
The final video shows a reproduction of the Niigata Chuetsu earthquake. ( Click here for details of the experiment.)
(*The results are based on experiments only and do not guarantee protection from actual earthquakes. Please use them for reference only.)
The video shows the Tabletop Sword Box 2.0, but since the materials used for the sword hanger are similar, we believe that similar results will be obtained.
・As an option, the base can be finished with "gold lacquer." This will add even more beauty to the sword. Please see the many photos below for an image of the display.

Since we begin production after receiving your order, it will take approximately 2-3 months (3-4 months for foil lacquer finishes) for delivery.
This does not apply if we are busy with orders. In that case, we will contact you separately.

■Usage environment
・For use in Japan only (100V power supply only)
(Please contact us in advance if you wish to use it outside of Japan.)
- For indoor use only (to protect exhibits, please use within the room temperature range of 15 to 30°C and humidity of 40 to 60%)・To protect the exhibits, please avoid placing them in direct sunlight or near windows where condensation is likely to occur.
■Notes・This product is entirely handmade. There are some welded areas, so there is a possibility of minor distortion, scratches, or dents. (This does not affect use, but if this is a concern, please refrain from ordering.)
・If placing it on the floor, be sure to attach the anti-tip belt ( https://amzn.to/43CcR0B ) to the back. Because it is thin, it is prone to falling over in the event of an earthquake, which is dangerous. Please hang it on the wall if possible .
-When installing the product on a wall, be sure to check in advance that the wall can withstand a weight of 50 kg.
(We cannot guarantee against damage to the wall when installing the product, or any damage to the product or exhibits that may result from this.)
I am not a professional wall installer, and it is difficult for me to assess the condition of the walls in your home (whether they are durable enough), so I generally do not offer on-site installation. Installation on the wall is at the customer's own risk.
-If shipping outside of Japan, you will be responsible for additional shipping and customs fees.(Customs fees are determined by local customs officials, so we cannot answer in advance.)
・Please check the terms of use before purchasing. (You can find them on the purchase page.)
