Description
The Ryokuryū Katana (緑龍の刀), or “Green Dragon Blade,” captures the essence of balance between nature’s calm and a warrior’s power. Its vivid green theme and claw-pattern hamon symbolize both vitality and ferocity — the spirit of a dragon bound in steel.
Blade (刀身): Forged from T10 high-carbon steel and polished to a mirror sheen, the blade showcases a rare claw-pattern hamon, achieved through precise clay tempering and expert heat treatment. The result is a perfect fusion of artistry and performance.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The copper tsuba, elegantly engraved with swirling clouds and dragon scales, represents protection and celestial strength. Each detail is hand-finished to highlight the natural patina of aged copper.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): Wrapped in deep green silk ito over white ray skin, the handle provides both comfort and visual harmony. Golden ornaments accentuate its traditional craftsmanship.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): The saya is finished in a glossy emerald lacquer with subtle gold streaks, evoking the energy of wind and life. It is paired with a two-tone sageo cord in blue and green for a refined contrast.
The Ryokuryū Katana stands as a blade of renewal and strength — a tribute to nature’s energy and the timeless art of Japanese swordsmithing.
