Features of the Yūga Katana
The Katana Yūga is a stunning tribute to elegance and sophistication, living up to its name, which means “grace” in Japanese. This Katana captures the essence of tradition while blending finesse with performance.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from 1095 steel, known for its purity and high carbon content, the blade is celebrated for its strength and ability to maintain a razor-sharp edge. The finely traced hamon along the blade highlights expert tempering, achieving an ideal balance between hardness and flexibility. This blade exemplifies artisanal craftsmanship, demonstrating resilience and precision.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The sculpted brass tsuba provides the perfect balance between protection and artistry. Brass, selected for its durability and natural resistance to oxidation, ensures the guard’s longevity while adding a touch of opulence to the Katana’s overall aesthetic.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
Crafted from solid wood, the saya provides reliable protection with understated elegance. Its simple design complements the natural beauty of the blade, offering robust defence against environmental elements and impacts without distracting from the Katana’s graceful form.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine ray skin (shagreen), the tsuka offers a unique texture and secure grip, enhancing handling during use. This material, favoured by high-ranking samurai for its exceptional durability and refined appearance, elevates the Katana’s prestige, offering both functionality and luxury.
The Katana Yūga stands out for its refinement and harmony, making it the ideal choice for practitioners seeking a high-performing, aesthetically pleasing weapon or for collectors in search of an exceptional piece.
