Description
The Aomidori Katana (“Blue-Green Blade”) symbolizes harmony between sky and earth — a balance between serenity and strength. Its unique color palette and silver details give it a noble and refined presence.
Blade (刀身): Forged from folded Damascus steel, the blade displays a mesmerizing wave-like grain pattern that reflects the precision and mastery of traditional forging techniques.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): Crafted from silver alloy, the tsuba features elegant floral engravings that blend strength and delicacy, protecting the wielder with refined beauty.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): The deep blue cotton wrap contrasts the bright white ray skin, ensuring a solid grip and visual harmony. Silver menuki are embedded beneath the ito, symbolizing loyalty and discipline.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): The glossy green lacquer saya is decorated with golden kamon (family crests) and tied with a dark navy sageo cord, combining elegance and heritage.
The Aomidori Katana is a remarkable fusion of color, craftsmanship, and symbolism — a collector’s sword that captures the calm power of the samurai spirit.
