Description
The Aokigahara Katana (青木ヶ原) takes its name from the legendary “Sea of Trees” at the foot of Mount Fuji — a place of haunting beauty and profound silence. This katana captures that same atmosphere of mystery and serenity.
Blade (刀身): Forged from 1060 Carbon Steel, the blade features a mesmerizing roasted blue finish that shimmers with deep indigo hues. The wave-pattern hamon runs elegantly along the edge, evoking the calm rhythm of nature beneath the forest canopy.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The silver-toned alloy tsuba depicts a coiled dragon — guardian of wisdom and balance — with intricate details around the rim, symbolizing control over chaos and inner strength.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): Wrapped in gray cotton ito over black ray skin, the tsuka mirrors the blade’s cool, wintry elegance. Its minimalist tone enhances grip and reinforces the katana’s air of calm precision.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): The saya features a unique blue-white crackle lacquer reminiscent of frost on ancient bark, paired with a matching gray sageo. The subtle patterning makes each piece distinct, as if shaped by winter itself.
The Aokigahara Katana embodies tranquility and mystery — a weapon of quiet power, where discipline meets nature’s frozen beauty. Perfect for collectors seeking a modern yet poetic interpretation of the samurai spirit.
