I love it !!! This photo really does not serve this wonderful katana steel any justice, honestly. Sometimes I hesitate by photos but this time I knew it would be better than photos. I will remove the bridge, though. It distracts from the beauty of the artwork. That’s only a personal preference. I will order again, probably Magatama. (I don’t know how to send this photo.)
I am truly happy with this purchase. I bought the Shi pendant, and I appreciate the quality of the material and design of the pendant, as well as the chain that comes with it. The only thing that I would say is that the clasp could feel more secure. Other than that, I am enjoying the pendant and I would certainly recommend this site to others!
It's a good product and it's really nice to wear. They even have those small metal necklaces that are normally annoying but they actually work and are comfortable to wear. Definitely recommend their product.
Really love the piece. It feels solid but not too heavy. It has a enough texture to give it personality but not too much. I wear it daily!
This is my second Hatano Sen purchase after getting an engraved Yamata No Orochi in 2021 and loving its quality.
The covenants of Bushido are powerful principles to consider in our own daily lives, so I learned the Kanji to be able to look down at the ring to remind me to be noble, patient, benevolent, etc.
Visually, it's a beautiful ring. The one I received initially was pretty hazy (hard to read the characters) but I reached out to the team and they instantly took care of it and sent me a gorgeous replacement.
People often point out at ring, it's a cool conversation starter (especially being half Japanese as well, but regardless of that, too).
It's flush, stylish and unique without shouting at you. It's sleek enough to wear while suited up for work and cool enough to wear out with friends and for social events.
Here's an excellent quality ring with a story and bespoke craftsmanship to tie it all together. Another great Hatano Sen product.
I was anxiously waiting for my order and when it finally arrived it was even better than I could have hoped, between the cool laser cut wood box to the heft of the charm it felt far better in the hand than I could have thought. The charm is of the finest craftsmanship and as someone who makes things themselves I can only admire the work and dedication that went into this 5/5 all the way!
The pendant and engraving are low key stunning. Not flashy or too attention drawing. The quality is first rate. Comfortable to wear both against a shirt or skin. This is just what I had hoped for. Many thanks to everyone involved.
The piece itself is special quality, good weight and feels good in the hand. Still smells like the workshop (which is a good thing!) The engraving/printing of text is clean and subtle. The wood box is nicely crafted and also special. I have feedback on other things besides the piece. It comes with a separate metal clasp that you must bend to close into the holes on the jewelry piece. This was awkward for me to do with pliers, to protect the piece and bend it enough to get the ends to close together completely. I attached the leather cord by tying it as a Lark’s Head knot onto the metal clasp, so the piece faces outward. If you loop the cord straight through the clasp, it would rotate the piece 90 degrees and it would face the side. Of course, you can always get your preferred necklace cord of material and length on your own. Thank you for the wonderful art! It is special to me, as it memorializes my name in Japanese as my late sense wrote it years ago.
The AI 愛 pendant was beautifully crafted. I am very happy with this forging and I would recommend this to everyone.
I bought this bracelet as a birthday gift for myself. And it is a very cool gift that I am pleased with.
The product is very well made and looks great. I have a skill issue where I have trouble keeping the sliding knot secure so it loosens up over time, so maybe having a section on the website for tutorials would help, but the product itself is excellent.
Very attractive, excellent quality, comfortable fit with the style of the design. Clearly illustrates the spirit of Bushido in folded Steel. Highly recommend.
Bought 5 pendants and I love all of them! Beautifully crafted. They look fantastic l!
This is my second purchase from Hatano Sen, my first was one of their pendants which I absolutely love. The work the smiths put into each piece is amazing! I was a little nervous about purchasing a ring because of sizing. Usually you try a ring on before you buy it. That’s just not possible with a ring that is being crafted for each individual. I couldn’t be happier, the ring fits PERFECTLY!!!! I absolutely love this ring. The kanji symbols engraved on it are so legible. The smiths work on this ring is simply stunning. Hatano Sen make sure to keep you updated on the progress of your item and when it has been shipped out as well as the expected arrival date. I will definitely be purchasing more from Hatano Sen.
Just received this amulet today and could not be more pleased. OMG You gotta give it up to these artisans! The steel is absolutely gorgeous, everything turned out well. There's even a cute little display box! Got this for my husband to make sure he's safe while on the move. Would def order again (and remember to tip the artisans)!
The wait was well worth it! This is a SOLID piece of jewelry and the craftsmanship is remarkable. The detail and finish are also exceptional.
It came very quickly and looks great. I love it. Very. Came in a very cool little box too.
I loved the first one I got so much (the Seikinseki), I came back for another piece. It’s simple yet stunning to look at. I like how weighty it is.
Excellent quality and I love the detail. Customer service is also punctual.
Very nice necklace, love the shape and texture. Only complaint is the engraving, I wish it was more of an engraving than a decal?
The pendant is very beautiful, and I enjoy it despite a slightly bumpy start with it. I enjoy it very much. Thank you very much also for the help and explanation in the email I sent earlier.
