Features of the Yougan Katana
The Katana Yougan is a martial masterpiece designed to captivate both Japanese sword enthusiasts and dedicated martial artists. Its design masterfully combines bold aesthetics with high performance, offering a fusion of elegance and functionality.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from high-quality manganese steel, the blade boasts a mirror polish for a sleek, modern finish. Manganese steel is renowned for its exceptional wear resistance and ability to retain a sharp edge over time, ensuring optimal cutting performance. Its strength makes it ideal for practitioners who need a reliable, durable blade capable of withstanding rigorous use.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The iron tsuba embodies the precision of Japanese craftsmanship. Beyond providing hand protection, the tsuba plays a key role in the Katana’s balance, enhancing manoeuvrability and allowing for smooth, controlled movements.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya is lacquered in vibrant red and paired with a dark blue sageo, creating a striking aesthetic that blends tradition with boldness. Made from durable lacquered wood, it provides optimal protection for the blade, while the vivid colour contrast transforms this Katana into a stunning showpiece.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine white ray skin (shagreen), the tsuka offers both secure grip and comfort. The unique granular texture of the shagreen, valued for its resistance to moisture and wear, enhances grip and adds durability, ensuring long-lasting quality even with regular use.
Menuki Set
Copper menuki adorn the handle, adding a refined detail that complements the sword’s balance between aesthetic appeal and functionality. This feature enhances control, whether for practice or display.
Dimensions
With an overall length of 103 cm and a 72 cm blade, the Katana Yougan adheres to classic proportions, delivering an authentic handling experience. Its balanced weight of 1.2 kg, including the saya, makes it ideal for disciplines such as Iaido or Kenjutsu, where agility and control are essential.

Perfectly balanced between aesthetics and performance, this Katana reflects the power and calm of a dormant volcano, embodying strength, grace, and timeless artistry.
