Features of the Toyotomi Katana
The Katana Toyotomi is a true masterpiece of martial artistry, paying tribute to the legacy of an iconic era in Japanese history. Designed to capture the essence of the feudal age and the strength of the Toyotomi clan, this Katana combines tradition, performance, and refined aesthetics.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from T10 steel, this blade is renowned for its purity and remarkable durability. The distinct Hamon, achieved through meticulous tempering, showcases the skilled craftsmanship of traditional swordsmiths. The addition of a Bo-Hi (groove) reduces the blade’s weight, enhancing manoeuvrability and producing a clear, resonant sound with each swing—a key feature appreciated by practitioners during demonstrations and training.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The copper Tsuba is an intricately sculpted work of art. Copper, valued for its malleability and strength, allows for rich, detailed designs while ensuring lasting protection. Functional yet ornamental, the Tsuba adds elegance to the Katana while providing optimal hand safety during use.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The Saya, crafted from lacquered wood and adorned with the traditional emblems of the Toyotomi clan, adds historical and cultural depth to this remarkable piece. The glossy lacquer finish not only protects the wood from the elements but also lends a luxurious touch, making the scabbard both functional and decorative.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in authentic black ray skin (shagreen), the Tsuka provides a secure, comfortable grip, essential for precise control. Known for its durability and textured, non-slip surface, the ray skin is paired with finely crafted copper Menuki that add elegance and reinforce the handle’s structure. Traditional bamboo Mekugi (pegs) ensure a solid, reliable assembly, guaranteeing the Katana’s strength and longevity.
