Features of the Midori no yoru Katana
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Crafted from Damascus steel, the grey blade showcases wave-like patterns reminiscent of Japan’s natural landscapes. The Damascus forging process, renowned for its strength, gives this blade enhanced durability, while its visual appeal captivates with every curve and fold in the steel. These undulations symbolize the balance of power and finesse, making the blade both visually stunning and highly functional.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The solid brass tsuba is a true example of expert craftsmanship. Its intricate detailing, inspired by traditional Japanese motifs, adds elegance while providing solid hand protection. It embodies the ideal blend of beauty and functionality, merging symbolism with practicality in an exquisite design.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The lacquered wooden saya stands out with its gradient from green to black, evoking the mysterious allure of Japanese forests at twilight. This fine finish creates a unique visual effect, with the colour transition giving the impression of a passage from darkness to light. It’s a stunning homage to nature and serves as a sophisticated decorative piece on its own.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The wooden handle, wrapped in imitation ray skin (shagreen), ensures a comfortable, ergonomic grip. The textured ray skin, along with a carefully knotted two-tone sageo, provides both excellent adhesion and an authentic look, staying true to traditional Katana craftsmanship.
