Vermilion Thread Katana
Vermilion Thread Katana
The Vermilion Thread Katana carries its vermilion finish through the saya and tsuka, with a red-finished patterned blade extending the colour story into the steel. A bo-hi provides the clearest structural line across the blade.
Alloy fittings keep the mount simple enough for the red system to remain coherent. Its place in the collection comes from the colour carried across the whole koshirae rather than from a named decorative subject.
