Description
The Nami Katana (波), meaning “Wave,” draws inspiration from the eternal movement of the ocean — a balance between calmness and unstoppable strength. Its design pays homage to Japanese coastal artistry and the philosophy of flow.
Blade (刀身): Crafted from T10 High Carbon Steel, this blade showcases a natural wave-pattern hamon that mirrors the motion of tides. Each ripple in the hamon reflects the skill of the master smith and the spirit of fluid precision.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The iron tsuba features soft oceanic curves, symbolizing both serenity and adaptability — essential virtues of the samurai spirit.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): Wrapped in traditional black silk over white ray skin, the tsuka offers exceptional grip and aesthetic balance, enhanced by golden wave ornaments that echo the sea’s rhythm.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): The saya presents a stunning hand-painted motif of waves inspired by Hokusai’s Great Wave, with red sunset crests symbolizing energy and renewal. The deep black lacquer contrasts beautifully with the vivid blue tones of the sea.
Elegant and powerful, the Nami Katana embodies the harmony of water — calm yet commanding, gentle yet fierce — a true masterpiece of Japanese artistry and symbolism.
