Features of the Heiwa Katana
The Heiwa Katana, meaning “peace” in Japanese, is a remarkable piece that beautifully captures the legacy of samurai heritage, blending tradition with symbolism. With refined aesthetics and delicate floral motifs, this Katana represents both elegance and strength, achieving an ideal balance of beauty and functionality.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
The 71 cm blade, forged from T10 carbon steel, showcases a captivating violet sheen. Known for its exceptional hardness and edge retention, T10 steel is an excellent choice for cutting practice on tatami mats. The blade includes a bo-hi (groove) and a subtle hamon line, which not only enhance its visual appeal but also reduce the blade’s weight, improving balance and optimizing cutting performance.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The finely crafted iron tsuba is a true work of art, adorned with intricate motifs that add a historical touch, reminiscent of ancient Japanese clan emblems. Beyond its protective role, the tsuba introduces an artistic and symbolic dimension to the sword, adding to its overall elegance and sense of heritage.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, crafted from solid wood and finished in a pristine white lacquer, is decorated with delicate floral motifs. These designs echo traditional samurai crests, adding an air of serenity while symbolizing the strength and resilience of Japan’s warrior clans. The result is a Katana with a timeless and distinct identity.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine ray skin (shagreen), the tsuka offers a firm, secure grip, enhanced by the luxurious finish of the material. Known for its textured surface and durability, shagreen elevates both the Katana’s aesthetic appeal and its handling comfort, ensuring a smooth and reliable experience.
