Features of the Yoru Katana
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from manganese steel, the blade of the Yoru Katana displays a deep blue hue, reminiscent of a night sky scattered with stars. This unique color, paired with an artificial hamon, creates a captivating visual effect, evoking the look of rippling waves under moonlight. The subtle hamon pattern adds an aura of refinement and mystique, while the razor-sharp edge highlights its precision, embodying both serenity and strength.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The brass tsuba is finely sculpted with traditional Japanese motifs, lending elegance to the Katana. Serving as both a hand guard and a smooth transition between the blade and handle, it seamlessly combines functionality with artistry. The intricate details of the tsuba evoke constellations, symbols of hope and guidance in the darkness.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, crafted from solid lacquered wood, is a deep midnight blue, mirroring the vast expanse of the night sky. Its smooth, glossy finish reflects light beautifully, enhancing the Katana’s sense of mystery. Beyond its protective role, the scabbard maintains an understated elegance—a quiet sheath that conceals the power within.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in imitation ray skin (shagreen), the handle offers both comfort and refinement. This prized material, known for its non-slip texture, provides excellent grip, ensuring precise handling of the Katana. The carefully knotted tsuka-ito adds a touch of tradition while enhancing the sword’s ergonomic design.
