Description
The Hikaritsuki Katana (光月), meaning “Moonlight,” is a refined expression of harmony and radiance. Its polished Damascus blade and luminous saya reflect the serenity and beauty of a night illuminated by the moon.
Blade (刀身): Forged from layered Damascus steel, the blade exhibits natural flowing patterns reminiscent of moonlit waves — a perfect balance between strength and artistry.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The copper tsuba is engraved with delicate plum blossoms and bamboo branches, symbolizing peace and perseverance in Japanese tradition.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): The saya’s dual-tone lacquer, blending pearl-white and deep teal with golden motifs, captures the calm glow of moonlight across the horizon.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): Wrapped in dark navy cord over a wooden base, the handle provides excellent balance and a firm grip for collectors and practitioners alike.
The Hikaritsuki Katana stands as a symbol of refinement, embodying the tranquil strength and timeless beauty of the samurai spirit.
