Vermilion Winding Katana
Vermilion Winding Katana
The Vermilion Winding Katana pairs a red-finished saya with a pale winding motif and a blue-finished patterned blade. The contrast is deliberate: the scabbard carries the strongest graphic line, while the blade introduces a cooler colour beneath it.
Dark fittings keep the palette from becoming busy. Because the winding ornament is more reliable as a visible pattern than as a confirmed named subject, the design is described through its colour, movement, and finish.
