The Katana Hinode 日の出 is a stunning piece that embodies both elegance and power, achieving a flawless balance of tradition and performance. Crafted with refined design and premium materials, this Katana captivates collectors and martial arts practitioners alike.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from Damascus steel, the blade is prized for its durability, flexibility, and distinctive wave-like patterns, reminiscent of flowing water. These intricate designs result from the repeated folding and forging of multiple types of steel, creating a blade that offers both enhanced strength and exceptional beauty. Each Damascus steel blade is unique, with patterns similar to fingerprints, reflecting the ancient craftsmanship passed down through generations of master swordsmiths.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The tsuba, crafted from pure copper with a deep black patina and delicate gold detailing, is a true work of art. Beyond serving as a protective guard, the tsuba is central to the Katana’s aesthetic appeal, adding balance and harmony to its design. The intricate detailing elevates the sword’s visual and symbolic depth, giving it timeless charm.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya is elegantly wrapped in light red shagreen, providing a striking contrast to the blade’s dark allure. Shagreen, known for its unique texture and impressive durability, is a luxury material traditionally used in Japanese craftsmanship for its aesthetic and long-lasting qualities.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine shagreen, the tsuka offers a secure, comfortable grip, enabling precise control. The golden copper menuki, carefully sculpted, add cultural and symbolic depth to the sword, as these ornamental pieces have traditionally held significant meaning in Japanese weaponry.
