Overview

Unique Historical Items and Loss of Value

The items offered by Supein Nihonto may consist of unique, antique, historical, artistic, cultural heritage, or collectible pieces, including, among others, Japanese swords, samurai armor, kabuto, menpō, koshirae, kodōgu, tsuba, lacquerware, textiles, cords, documents, stands, and other handcrafted or historical elements.

These items are not industrial, fungible, or replaceable products that can be substituted by an identical example. Their value depends on their authenticity, material integrity, state of preservation, documentation, provenance, patina, age, rarity, original mounting, historical coherence, and absence of inappropriate interventions.

The right of withdrawal will be respected whenever it is legally applicable. However, the buyer acknowledges that any handling beyond what is strictly necessary to verify the nature, characteristics, and general condition of the item may result in a significant loss of value, even where the visible damage appears limited.

By way of example, loss of value may be caused by assembly, disassembly, testing, use, placement on unsuitable stands, tension applied to cords, removal of components, handling of blades, cleaning, incorrect oiling, direct contact, exposure to humidity, impacts, friction, pressure, twisting, unauthorized intervention, non-professional repair, or improper transport.

In the event of a return, if the item shows damage, alteration, wear, broken threads or cords, missing components, modification of its original condition, signs of use, or any loss of historical, aesthetic, material, or commercial integrity attributable to the buyer, Supein Nihonto may deduct from the amount to be refunded the loss of value suffered by the item.

This reduction may include not only the material cost of repair, but also the historical or commercial loss of value of the piece, as well as inspection, appraisal, documentation, conservation, professional packaging, insured transport, temporary export or import procedures, customs, insurance, and specialized restoration costs, including shipment to Japan or to qualified professionals where the nature of the object so requires.

The buyer accepts that, in the case of unique antique and collectible items, a repair may not restore the item to its previous value if its integrity, authenticity, preservation, original mounting, or historical coherence has been affected. In such cases, the loss of value may exceed the mere material cost of repair.

Where a product has been made, adapted, restored, modified, reserved, commissioned, or prepared according to the buyer’s express specifications, or where any other legally established exception applies, the right of withdrawal shall not apply under the terms established by applicable law.

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!
