Japanese sword parts

Hi all, when staying in Osaka, does anyone please know where you could by sword parts.
I really need the handle/grip/hilt area alone.. no blade

It will act as part of a collage/sculpting I am making.

Truly hoping someone can help.

Kind regards.

I've seen them often at flea markets, but they're surprisingly expensive. Do you need a real one, or would a fake/plastic/foam one work? I've seen those kinds in toy stores before...

Real could be great, but as part of a overall piece it could be if hardened material by preference..

Just keeps the authentic look if real, but if it gives of the look I could work with it..

Any ideas of markets/shops in the central or greater Osaka area?

Thanks for your help ^_^

Sorry, I know Tokyo better than Osaka.

Check around the forum for the flea market posts or search the net to see some going on when you're there. Don't forget Kyoto is close and might have some good options as well! Skip antique stores... they'll be expensive. For plastic ones, check toy stores. But sorry, I don't know any specific ones to turn you to. I've only been to Osaka a few times, and not for that.

Thanks for the help,

I'll do some extra digging and see what I can find.

Yes my experience is better in Tokyo, so a new challenge in Osaka will be fun. Hope I get sorted.

All the best.
