Black Shirasaya Katana
The Black Shirasaya Katana presents a black shirasaya-style guardless mounting with a gold-tone habaki. The decorative blade line adds a visible detail along the blade. The plain wooden shirasaya form is traditionally associated with a storage scabbard, while the gold-tone habaki supplies the bright accent.
