Features of the Yoru Katana
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from manganese steel, the Yoru Katana’s blade has a deep blue hue reminiscent of a night sky dotted with stars. This unique colour, combined with an artificial hamon, creates a stunning visual effect, evoking waves rippling under moonlight. The hamon’s subtle patterns add refinement and mystique, while the blade itself remains razor-sharp, showcasing precision despite its tranquil appearance.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The finely sculpted brass tsuba is inspired by traditional Japanese motifs, adding a touch of elegance to the Katana. It functions not only as a guard but also as a seamless transition between the blade and the handle, perfectly blending function with beauty. The intricate details on the tsuba resemble constellations, symbols of hope and guidance in the dark.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, crafted from solid lacquered wood, is a rich midnight blue, reflecting the boundless depth of the night sky. Its smooth, glossy surface beautifully catches the light, enhancing the Katana’s aura of mystery. The scabbard provides protective housing for the blade while maintaining an understated elegance—a quiet sheath for the power it holds within.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in imitation ray skin (shagreen), the handle provides both comfort and a refined look. This material, valued for its non-slip texture, ensures a secure grip, allowing for precise handling. The expertly knotted tsuka-ito upholds tradition and enhances the ergonomic design of the Katana.
