Description
The Kusanagi Katana (草薙刀) — “Grass-Cutting Sword” — is inspired by the mythical blade of the Japanese gods. Forged from Damascus steel with a mirror polish and visible hamon, it embodies precision, balance, and divinity.
Blade (刀身): Hand-forged Damascus with exquisite wave patterns and a refined hamon line, representing the dual nature of calm and strength.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): Intricately engraved copper tsuba, depicting ancient motifs symbolizing courage and protection.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): Vibrant green lacquered wood saya, with speckled highlights reminiscent of jade stone, paired with black sageo for contrast.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): Wrapped in black cotton over authentic ray skin, ensuring durability and control worthy of a warrior’s legacy.
The Kusanagi Katana stands as both an artistic masterpiece and a tribute to Japanese mythology — a weapon once believed to command the very winds of heaven.
