Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, made from lacquered green wood, provides durable protection for the blade while exuding elegance. The carefully applied lacquer finish protects against environmental wear and scratches, adding a polished sheen that enhances the overall aesthetic. The durable cotton sageo, perfectly matched in color, provides secure transport while harmonizing with the Katana’s design.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine green shagreen (ray skin), the tsuka offers a firm and secure grip essential for precise handling. The textured surface ensures a non-slip hold during technical movements, while the copper menuki and bamboo mekugi add both decorative and functional value. These components reinforce the handle’s structure, ensuring the blade remains firmly attached and stable even during rigorous use.
