Paired with the black saya, it creates the strong contrast that makes Kinkō stand out on a wall or a desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tsuba is the second focal point: a four-lobed mokko shape in white, covered in raised flowers and leaves picked out in gold. The same gold returns on the habaki, on the kashira and in the floral crests set along the saya, tied together by a gold chevron near the koiguchi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tsuka is wrapped in black ito over gold-toned panels, so each diamond of the wrap shows a flash of gold. At 104 cm and 1.40 kg, Kinkō has full katana proportions with a light, easy feel in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade for collectors and fans who want a katana with presence without going to the top of the range.
