Description
The Ryujin no Kuro Katana – Black Dragon embodies the legendary spirit of the dragon — wisdom, strength, and unbreakable will. Its deep black saya engraved with a silver dragon symbolizes power balanced by serenity.
Blade (刀身): Crafted from T10 high carbon steel, the blade features a genuine hamon line and a mirror-polished surface. Its perfect curvature ensures precision and balance worthy of a master swordsman.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The golden tsuba depicts an intertwined dragon among bamboo — a symbol of resilience and grace. Each detail is finely sculpted, showcasing the artistry of traditional swordsmiths.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): Wrapped in black cotton ito over white ray skin, the tsuka ensures a secure grip and visual harmony. Golden dragon menuki rest beneath the wrapping, embodying courage and protection.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): The glossy black saya is adorned with a silver dragon inlaid by hand, its scales shimmering under light. The black-and-white sageo cord ties the design together in a timeless contrast.
This katana captures the essence of the mythical Ryujin — the Dragon God of the Sea — combining elegance, raw strength, and a commanding presence fit for any collector or practitioner.
