ABOUT US
Geisha’s Blade 芸者の刃 Philippines Samurai Sword Shop is the pioneer of Japanese style swords (samurai sword) and yoroi (samurai armor) in the Philippines. We are the first and only online sword shop in the country, based in Mandaluyong, Metro Manila that offers only the finest quality.
Geisha’s Blade 芸者の刃 was formed by Jaimee L. and Aldwin P., who both have a love for Japanese tradition, culture, and arts. We started selling online last 2005 on eBay Philippines, and on 2008 on Sulit.com.ph (now OLX.ph) and Multiply.com.
Back then, we only had a handful of swords available and most of them were from our personal collection. Our collections have all been sold and the number of buyer inquiries has grown. What started out as a hobby has now become a business endeavor. In 2008, Geisha’s Blade 芸者の刃 was officially born.
Jaimee L. studied Japanese linguistics and is a graduate of Interior Design in UP Diliman. She also collects vintage kimonos and getas from Japan.
Aldwin P. was an eBay Education Specialist (2007-2009) and the eBay Philippines Community Assistant (2010 – 2011). He collects Japanese swords and he’s also a Japanese Martial Arts practioner. He started training in Aikido last 2004, a member of Ki Association International (KIAI), now Aikido Yuishinkai Philippines, and has achieved the level of Shodan (1st degree black belt) under the teachings of Ernie Talag Sensei. Aldwin now focuses on Japanese Swordsmanship at Sugawara Sogo Budo Philippines.
Our main product line are shinkens (modern crafted katana) made specifically for tameshigiri (cutting practice) and are hand forged, heat treated, water/oil quenched, and then polished by hand. Our swords are forged using machines at a minimum. We also offer iaito (non-sharpened katana) for iai and kata, sword cleaning kits, sword stands, sageo cords, re-wrapping of the handle (tsukamaki) and other customizations. We also offer high quality samurai armors crafted by the highly skilled craftsmen of Iron Mountain Armory.
Our mission is to educate, promote, and provide Japanese style swords and armors, its appreciation, usage, and history.
