Description
The Karyū Katana (火龍剣), or “Sword of the Fire Dragon,” is a masterpiece of craftsmanship that embodies the burning spirit of the dragon — a symbol of authority, passion, and transformation in Japanese culture.
Blade (刀身): Forged from T10 High Carbon Steel, the blade displays a vivid flame-pattern hamon that ripples like fire itself. Polished to a mirror finish, it captures the light with a fierce brilliance worthy of its name.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The hand-carved copper tsuba depicts golden dragons encircling blooming flowers — a representation of power balanced with grace. Each detail is engraved and gilded to perfection, a testament to Japanese metal artistry.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): Wrapped in premium black silk over genuine ray skin, the tsuka ensures an authentic grip and comfort, adorned with golden dragon menuki symbolizing protection and wisdom.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): The saya features a hand-lacquered finish with a stunning red and gold dragon stretching across its surface, contrasted by black and white sageo. The design evokes the fiery breath of the mythical beast emerging from the shadows.
Majestic and fierce, the Karyū Katana is more than a weapon — it is an emblem of fiery determination and timeless Japanese artistry, perfect for collectors and practitioners alike.
