The Katana Jin embodies a gateway to the world of katanas, blending accessibility and historical representation.
Blade (刀身): The black blade, made from manganese steel, is designed with particular attention to aesthetics. Its ebony appearance and matte finish offer a modern look while respecting the traditional silhouette of the katana.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The finely sculpted iron guard is adorned with detailed motifs, reminiscent of typical Edo period ornamentation. Each detail is a tribute to the skill of the blacksmiths of the period, renowned for their intricate and detailed craftsmanship.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): The lacquered wooden Saya is embellished with illustrations depicting historical scenes, offering an artistic glimpse into the Edo period. This time capsule is both a decorative element and a silent educator on Japan's cultural richness.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): The handle, also in wood, is coated in imitation shagreen for a comfortable, aesthetic grip. The cord (Tsuka-Ito) wrapped around it adds a traditional touch and ensures a better grip.
This is a great piece for anyone wishing to start their collection or simply add a touch of history and elegance to their space.
