Purchased two antique swords from Ichimonji. Both items were exactly as described and depicted, shipping was fast, and packaging was secure. Excellent transaction as usual.

ECHOED! Twice purchased from ichimonji myself and all those are very true.
I'd also like to add my 2 cents on how much I appreciate a seller like him being on here. I think there's an important underserved niche for collectors like me; e.g I'm not normally a Japanese blade guy, but can be interested in actual historical blades in a condition that regular nihonto collectors might not consider pristine/proper, when it makes them fit my budget. (Hey, my predilection for these, mid 15th C or earlier? I only WISH I could get any Euro piece in either these conditions or at these prices--let alone both. :p )
Again, everybody collects for different reasons, and I won't disparage anyone whose aims are different, and in the case of collecting Japanese swords more orthodox. But I'm certainly glad there's someone who can be counted on to suit me too. :)

It’s worth getting a hard time or trolled to carry something for everyone in the nihonto community whether it be high end , middle … or the blades that have been neglected. We all start collecting somewhere. Cheers 🥂
