Sakura Katana – A Tribute to Japanese Culture

The Sakura Katana embodies the elegance and significance of the cherry blossom in Japanese tradition, blending beauty with precision in every detail.

Hand-Forged T10 Steel Blade

Crafted from T10 steel, the blade is hand-forged using a unique clay coating technique that creates a striking X-shaped hamon (temper line) after polishing.

Sakura Blossom-Themed Fittings

The handguard (tsuba), fuchi, menuki, and kashira are intricately designed with sakura blossom motifs, reflecting Japan's deep cultural connection with this iconic flower. The hollowed-out design of the handguard adds an artistic and symbolic touch, emphasizing the fleeting beauty of the sakura.

Red Handle with Black Ito

The tsuka (handle) features a vibrant red color, symbolizing the sakura’s blossom, complemented by black ito (handle wrapping) that enhances both the aesthetic and grip, ensuring comfort and security during use.

The Sakura Katana is not just a weapon but a symbol of the transient beauty and profound cultural significance of the cherry blossom in Japan. A perfect addition to any collection.
