The Katana Yoru 夜 is a metaphor for the starry night, as mysterious as it is splendid. Its blue blade is reminiscent of the night sky, a deep, soothing hue that contrasts with the sharpness of its cutting edge.
Blade (刀身): The blade's unique blue color, worked in manganese steel, is accentuated by an artificial Hamon, adding a fascinating visual dimension that imitates the waves of a calm sea under the moon.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The carved brass guard is a tribute to the delicacy of Japanese craftsmanship, with motifs reminiscent of traditional ornaments. It serves as the perfect transition between blade and handle, a fusion of function and artistry.
Sheath (Saya 鞘): The lacquered solid wood Saya reflects the celestial abyss with its deep blue finish. It protects the blade with as much mystery as it holds, an elegant cover for the beauty hidden inside.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): Covered in imitation shagreen leather, the handle promises a comfortable, secure grip.
It is a faithful companion in the dark, reminding us that even in the darkest moments, there is hope and inner strength ready to be revealed.
