Features of the Hana Katana
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
The 71 cm Damascus steel blade features an intentionally dimpled surface, distinguishing it from traditional Katanas. This unique texture isn’t a flaw but a mark of character, giving the blade a rugged, distinctive look. The deep grey steel, with its natural wave-like patterns, catches the light in a mesmerizing way, showcasing both its raw beauty and impressive durability. This makes the blade an excellent choice for cutting practice and a valuable addition to any collection.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The iron tsuba is a tribute to nature, intricately sculpted with floral patterns. These designs are not merely decorative; they carry symbolic meaning, echoing the Katana’s name, “Hana,” which means “flower.” The guard provides effective hand protection while adding an elegant, poetic touch, further connecting the weapon to the samurai traditions it represents.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, crafted from solid wood, is decorated with exquisite hand-painted floral designs that signify allegiance to a samurai clan. These patterns, applied using traditional Japanese lacquer techniques, evoke nobility and honor, echoing the warriors who once wielded such blades. The harmony between the blade and scabbard is perfectly matched, making the Katana Hana a rare and beautiful piece.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The handle, made from lacquered magnolia wood, is wrapped in ray skin (galuchat), a traditional material valued for its non-slip grip. This ensures both a secure and comfortable hold, while also embodying the fusion of beauty and functionality at the heart of this Katana. The expertly woven tsuka-ito provides optimal handling, allowing for smooth, precise movements during use.
