Description
The Aokaze Katana (青風), meaning “Blue Wind,” is a symbol of grace and strength. Its refined green-gold aesthetics and authentic T10 hamon blade make it a perfect balance between art and weaponry.
Blade (刀身): Forged from high-carbon T10 steel, this blade features a genuine hamon line formed through traditional clay-tempering. It offers exceptional hardness, sharpness, and visual beauty.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The ornate golden tsuba, crafted from solid copper, is decorated with hand-carved floral designs representing prosperity and harmony.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): Finished in deep green lacquer, the saya is adorned with golden mon (family crests) that enhance its noble appearance. Every detail is hand-polished for a smooth, glossy finish.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): Wrapped in dark green silk cord over genuine ray skin, the handle ensures perfect grip and control while maintaining an elegant and authentic look.
Both decorative and functional, the Aokaze Katana is a refined piece of craftsmanship — ideal for collectors, practitioners, or as a striking centerpiece in any Japanese art collection.
