Seiran Wakizashi
Description
The Seiran "Sea Breeze" Wakizashi is an ethereal masterpiece designed for the collector who finds beauty in the sea breeze. This compact short sword is centered around a 33 cm blade forged from reliable carbon steel, treated with a vibrant cobalt blue oxide finish. The blue surface is punctuated by a hand-polished wavy hamon pattern.
Physically, the Seiran is the definition of agility. At an overall length of 55 cm and a featherlight weight of just 700 grams, it offers a swift and effortless handling experience. It occupies the "Ko-Wakizashi" category—a shorter, more versatile profile that provides immediate, precise feedback in the hand, perfect for those who prioritize speed and grace over raw mass.
The artistic narrative is carried by the deep navy blue lacquered Saya, paired with an sea-blue blade to create a harmonious design. The zinc alloy fittings are a showcase of power, featuring a high-relief Dragon Motif Tsuba and a matching gold-carved Habaki depicting crashing waves. With its black handle wrap over seafoam white same-hada, the Seiran Wakizashi is a refined balance of natural serenity and legendary power, making it a peerless centerpiece for any Japanese sword collection.
