DESCRIPTION
The Arashi-kage no Katana is engineered for collectors who require a blade that is both visually extraordinary and technically superior. Its Damascus steel construction creates swirling, layered patterns across the blade, each fold capturing the motion of storm clouds in steel. Enhanced with a real, clay-tempered hamon and a flawless mirror finish, the blade reflects light with a depth and clarity rarely found outside artisan-level nihontō.
The copper fittings are finely crafted with traditional motifs, reinforcing the katana’s elegance while ensuring uncompromising structural integrity. Each element — from the koiguchi to the fuchi and kashira — is forged to last, providing a perfect balance between ornamentation and functional strength.
The natural wood shirasaya housing highlights the katana’s refined character. Designed for preservation, purity, and silent presence, it pays homage to the ancient tradition of storing master-forged blades in undecorated mounts.
With its long, graceful profile and precision polish, the Arashi-kage is a statement of craftsmanship, tradition, and artistic mastery. Whether displayed or handled, it stands as a remarkable example of what a premium Damascus katana should be.
