Description
The Seiryu Katana (青龍), or “Azure Dragon,” represents the guardian of the East — a divine beast symbolizing power, wisdom, and protection in Japanese mythology. This blade merges modern craftsmanship with the grace of ancient symbolism.
Blade (刀身): Crafted from spring steel with a stunning deep blue finish, the blade reflects the calm yet commanding essence of Seiryu. Its flexibility and resilience make it ideal for both display and practice, while the polished sheen captures the light like rippling water.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The silver alloy tsuba features an elegant openwork dragon motif encircling the rising sun, representing harmony between power and enlightenment. Golden accents highlight its refined craftsmanship.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): Wrapped in navy blue cotton ito over pristine white ray skin, the tsuka offers exceptional grip and a sense of balance. The color pairing evokes the tranquil strength of the sea beneath the sky.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): The saya is finished in glossy black lacquer with hand-painted feather-like white streaks, reminiscent of wind and clouds swirling in motion. The navy blue sageo ties the ensemble together in a serene yet striking harmony.
The Seiryu Katana embodies elegance and balance — a perfect fusion of artistry and spirit, capturing the power of the Eastern dragon and the calm of the heavens it guards.
