Description
The Byakuryū Katana (白龍), meaning “White Dragon,” symbolizes purity, wisdom, and strength — a tribute to the mythical dragon said to rule the skies and waters of Japan.
Blade (刀身): Forged from spring steel, the blade features a high-polish mirror finish, offering both flexibility and resilience. Its clean, minimalist line emphasizes traditional Japanese craftsmanship.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): Cast from alloy and detailed with dragon and cloud engravings, the tsuba captures the essence of celestial power and the spirit of the dragon deity.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): Grey cotton cord wraps over imitation stingray skin for improved grip, enhanced by dark menuki ornaments and secured with dual bamboo mekugi for structural strength.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): The hand-painted white saya features a stunning dragon intertwined with cherry blossoms, blending fierce strength with delicate beauty — a piece of art in itself.
The Byakuryū Katana embodies harmony between strength and elegance — a perfect choice for collectors drawn to symbolic Japanese artistry and craftsmanship.
