Description
The Seiryū Katana (青龍), meaning “Azure Dragon,” embodies the mythic guardian of the East — a symbol of strength, wisdom, and renewal in Japanese and Chinese tradition. Every detail of this sword evokes the energy and flow of a living dragon.
Blade (刀身): Forged from T10 High Carbon Steel, the blade features a natural Dingzi hamon and a brilliant mirror polish. Its curvature and balance reflect the grace of the dragon’s flight, blending raw power with refined beauty.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): Cast in copper with a dragon coiling through clouds, the tsuba radiates majesty and protection — the eternal spirit of Seiryū guarding its wielder.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): Wrapped in traditional black silk over white ray skin, the handle ensures both grip and authenticity. Copper ornaments shaped as scaled talismans reinforce its mythical aura.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): A masterpiece of craftsmanship, the turquoise lacquer saya depicts a vivid red and blue dragon surrounded by swirling clouds — symbolizing the balance of fire and water, strength and serenity.
The Seiryū Katana stands as a tribute to divine guardianship and the timeless artistry of Japanese swordmaking — a collector’s piece radiating both spirit and legend.
