Description
The Aozora Katana (青空の刀), meaning “Blue Sky Blade,” reflects purity, calm, and precision. Its design takes inspiration from the endless blue of the Japanese horizon — a symbol of clarity and focus in both craftsmanship and spirit.
Blade (刀身): Forged from premium T10 high-carbon steel and clay-tempered to reveal a natural hamon, the blade balances strength and sharpness with an elegant polish that catches the light beautifully.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The copper tsuba features hand-carved wave patterns finished in antique gold, embodying harmony between strength and tranquility — much like the sea beneath a clear sky.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): Wrapped in navy blue silk ito over white ray skin, the tsuka provides a steady and comfortable grip, accented by golden fittings that bring a refined touch of contrast.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): The glossy metallic blue saya is finished with a soft gradient sheen, tied with a blue and white sageo cord that complements the blade’s oceanic theme.
The Aozora Katana is a piece that embodies serenity and mastery — a perfect fusion of traditional Japanese artistry and modern elegance, crafted for collectors and warriors who value balance, beauty, and precision.
