Description
The Akegumo Katana (明雲), meaning “Morning Cloud,” is a refined blend of power and sophistication. Its design is inspired by the first light of dawn breaking through misty skies, symbolizing renewal and clarity.
Blade (刀身): Forged from T10 High Carbon Steel and polished to reveal a full, vivid hamon, the blade embodies perfect sharpness and resilience — a balance between form and spirit.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The iron tsuba features a darkened patina with subtle engravings, capturing the quiet strength of traditional craftsmanship.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): Wrapped in black silk ito over pristine white ray skin, the tsuka offers an authentic grip that complements the elegance of the sword’s dark aesthetic.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): The saya stands out with its deep crimson lacquer and intricate gold kamon crests — symbols of honor, lineage, and tradition. The multicolor sageo cord adds a touch of ceremonial richness.
Elegant and dignified, the Akegumo Katana represents the harmony between craftsmanship and philosophy — a collector’s piece that reflects both heritage and refinement.
