Description
The Murakumo Katana (叢雲), meaning “Violet Cloud,” is a stunning piece that embodies elegance and mystery. Its straight purple blade and dark aesthetic evoke the calm after a storm — serene, powerful, and timeless.
Blade (刀身): Forged in manganese steel, the perfectly straight blade shimmers with subtle violet hues. Its reflective polish enhances the deep color, making it one of the most unique katanas in any collection.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The finely sculpted brass tsuba displays delicate motifs inspired by Japanese legend, balancing strength with ornamental grace.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): Made from lacquered black wood, the saya features refined golden cord bindings, symbolizing harmony between darkness and light.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): Constructed from solid wood and wrapped in blue and gold Tsuka-Ito over imitation shagreen, the handle ensures comfort, durability, and elegance.
A collector’s favorite, the Murakumo Katana is a perfect blend of artistry and tradition — ideal for display, meditation, or as a statement of Japanese refinement.
