Features of the Nobunaga Katana
The Nobunaga Katana is an exceptional piece that seamlessly combines refined aesthetics with martial functionality. Every element of this Katana has been meticulously crafted to deliver a superior handling experience and captivating visual appeal. This sword embodies nobility and power, paying homage to the legacy of one of Japan’s most legendary warlords, Oda Nobunaga.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from manganese steel, the blade offers an ideal blend of flexibility and strength, making it perfect for practising cutting techniques. Its striking golden hue, bold and distinctive, adds a prestigious touch that sets it apart from traditional Katanas. This vibrant colour brilliantly reflects light, lending a dramatic and eye-catching quality to the blade’s appearance.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The intricately sculpted copper tsuba functions as both a protective guard and a work of art. Copper, valued for its natural corrosion resistance, allows for detailed engravings, creating a guard that is as elegant as it is practical. Besides shielding the user’s hand, the tsuba serves as a focal point, enhancing the sword’s noble character and visual appeal.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
Crafted from ebony wood, a dense and durable material, the saya provides reliable protection while exuding timeless elegance with its deep, polished finish. This scabbard is further refined with a kurigata made from bull horn, valued for its strength and organic beauty. The carefully braided sageo ensures secure transport and introduces a subtle contrast against the ebony, enriching the sword’s overall aesthetic.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine ray skin (shagreen), the tsuka provides a secure and comfortable grip. Known for its durability and natural adhesion, this material enhances control when wielding the Katana. The finely detailed copper menuki add a touch of elegance, while the bamboo mekugi ensure structural stability, keeping the blade firmly in place, even during intense practice.
The Nobunaga Katana is a true masterpiece, crafted from high-quality materials with exceptional attention to detail. Its golden blade, ebony scabbard, and intricately designed tsuba make this Katana stand out for both performance and aesthetic appeal. Ideal for discerning practitioners or collectors seeking a distinctive piece, the Nobunaga Katana symbolises prestige, power, and sophistication, honouring the legacy of Japan’s great samurai warriors.
