With refined aesthetics and delicate floral motifs, this Katana embodies both beauty and strength, achieving an ideal balance between elegance and functionality.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
The 71 cm blade, forged from T10 carbon steel, features a captivating violet sheen. T10 steel is renowned for its exceptional durability and sharp edge retention, making it perfect for cutting practice on tatami mats. The addition of a bo-hi (groove) and a subtly visible hamon line enhances the blade’s aesthetic appeal while also improving its lightness and balance, optimizing performance during cutting exercises.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The finely sculpted iron tsuba is a true masterpiece. Decorated with intricate, elegant motifs, it evokes the historical emblems of ancient Japanese clans. Beyond its protective function, the tsuba adds both artistic and symbolic depth to the Katana, enriching its overall appearance.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, crafted from solid wood and finished with a pristine white lacquer, is adorned with delicate floral motifs. These designs, reminiscent of traditional samurai crests, convey a sense of serenity while reflecting the resilience and strength of Japan’s warrior clans. Together, these elements give the Katana a distinctive and timeless character.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine ray skin (shagreen), the tsuka provides a secure, comfortable grip with a touch of elegance. Known for its textured surface and remarkable durability, ray skin adds both visual appeal and handling comfort, ensuring a smooth and controlled experience.
The Heiwa Katana embodies the perfect blend of beauty and performance. With its violet T10 steel blade, floral-patterned white scabbard, and intricately sculpted tsuba, this Katana pays homage to Japan’s rich traditions and the legacy of the samurai clans.
