You do not need to sell each piece individually or identify every object before contacting us.
We welcome enquiries concerning:
  • Private Japanese art collections
  • Inherited collections
  • Samurai armour collections
  • Japanese sword collections
  • Tosogu and sword fitting collections
  • Netsuke and inrō collections
  • Ukiyo-e collections
  • Mixed Japanese antique collections
  • Individual objects of particular historical or artistic interest
For larger collections, several general photographs and a brief description are often enough for an initial assessment.

Inherited japanese antiques?

It is common for Japanese swords, samurai armour, netsuke and other traditional works of art to pass through families without detailed information about their history or value.
You do not need to know exactly what you have before contacting us.
Send us clear photographs of the pieces, including any signatures, inscriptions, boxes, certificates or accompanying documents.
We can determine whether the objects fall within our area of specialisation and whether they may be of interest to Supein Nihonto.

How does selling to Supein Nihonto work?

Complete the form and upload clear images of the item or collection you are considering selling. For collections, overview photographs are useful as a first step.
We review the photographs and information provided. Depending on the object, we may request additional images, dimensions, documentation or photographs of particular details.
If the object or collection is of interest, we will contact you directly to discuss it further.
If an agreement is reached, we will explain the appropriate payment, documentation and shipping process. Larger or particularly important collections can be handled individually.

What should i send?

You do not need to prepare a professional catalogue.
Please provide whatever information you have available, such as:
  • General photographs of the object
  • Detailed photographs
  • Dimensions
  • Artist or maker, if known
  • Signatures and inscriptions
  • NBTHK or NTHK certificates
  • Other certificates or documentation
  • Original boxes or storage cases
  • Provenance or previous ownership

If you know very little about the object, clear photographs are usually the most useful starting point.

Japanese swords with NBTHK or NTHK certificates

If your Japanese sword or sword fitting has documentation from the NBTHK, NTHK or another recognised Japanese organisation, please include clear photographs of the certificate.
These documents may contain important information concerning attribution, period, school or authenticity.
You can also send Japanese documentation even if you cannot read or translate it.

Why sell your japanese antiques to Supein Nihonto?

Supein Nihonto specialises specifically in authentic Japanese swords, samurai armour, tosogu and traditional Japanese art.
Unlike a general antique buyer, our activity is focused on historical Japanese objects and the characteristics that matter to collectors.
Depending on the type of object, our assessment may consider:
  • Historical period
  • Artist or school
  • Signature or mei
  • Materials
  • Craftsmanship
  • Condition
  • Originality
  • Provenance
  • Certification
  • Rarity
  • Collector interest
Our aim is to provide owners with a clear, professional and confidential way to offer individual objects or complete collections.

Not sure which category your object belongs to?

That is not a problem.
You may have inherited an object described simply as a “Japanese sword”, “samurai object”, “Japanese carving” or “Japanese print”.
You do not need to identify it yourself before contacting us.
Send us several clear photographs and we will review the object.

    I had an excellent experience with Supein Nihoto. I purchased a katana and a wakizashi, and both pieces are truly beautiful — carefully selected and of remarkable quality. You can immediately see the attention to detail and the seller’s passion for what he offers. The packaging was also exceptional: all the documentation was perfectly arranged in a refined envelope, which added a very elegant touch to the whole experience. As a thoughtful gesture, he even included a small katana kake stand as a gift, which I greatly appreciated. Beyond the objects themselves, the seller was very helpful, responsive, and clearly knowledgeable. His selection is outstanding, and you can tell he deals in genuinely fine items. Highly recommended — I would definitely purchase from Supein Nihoto again

    I received a beautiful tokubetsu hozon nihonto for Christmas from Supein. Actually my wife purchased the sword after receiving some helpful hints and recommendations lol. She knows absolutely nothing about nihonto but Supein walked her through everything honestly and I ended up with something beyond my dreams and expectations, honestly. The packing was exceptional, shipping fast and the sword itself a literal work of art. Supein has a lifetime customer now as my collection grows. Thank you!

    I had been looking for a tachi with a lot of curvature for a long time and I called Supein Nihonto. They didn't have any tachi with the sori I was looking for, but I was treated with a lot of love and professionalism and we were talking for a long time. The next day I received a call from the shop, telling me that they had received new swords and that there was a tachi with a lot of sori. That same afternoon he already had a lot of photos of the sword and its measurements. I found the price good, especially if I compared it to other Spanish sellers of Nihonto. The shipment took a day and the package arrived in perfect condition, as the person in charge of the packaging puts a lot of effort into the work and the result is a strong packaging. Without a doubt, Supein Nihonto is my 100% recommendation!
