Description
The Eifu Shōgun Tachi (衛府将軍太刀) represents the pinnacle of samurai prestige — a ceremonial sword crafted for the elite warriors who served under imperial command. Every element of this piece is a testament to Japanese artistry and status.
Blade (刀身): Forged from folded pattern steel and tempered with the traditional clay-covering method, the blade features a vivid wave-shaped hamon and a perfectly defined yokote. The polish reveals the complex layering unique to master craftsmanship.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): The full copper saya is meticulously hand-engraved with gilt and silver details, illustrating floral and geometric motifs. Each carving is individually hammered and finished, making every tachi a singular work of art.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The ornate copper tsuba bears imperial-inspired designs — symbols of courage and nobility — complementing the gold-accented collar (habaki) and fittings.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): Wrapped in black silk ito over rayskin, the handle features gold sakura ornaments and refined metalwork, providing both grip and grandeur befitting a high-ranking general.
This exceptional Eifu Shōgun Tachi combines martial authenticity with artistic excellence.
