Description
The Yamiryū Katana (“Dark Dragon”) embodies the power of shadow and storm. Its black tones and golden details mirror the eternal balance between chaos and control.
Blade (刀身): Forged from Damascus steel, the blade reveals a hypnotic wave pattern along its surface — a hallmark of mastery and resilience. Its polished edge ensures both beauty and lethal precision.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The tsuba is a work of art, depicting swirling clouds in black iron with golden and silver accents, symbolizing a dragon emerging through stormy skies.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): Wrapped in black cotton over white ray skin, the handle ensures exceptional grip and aesthetic contrast. The golden dragon menuki represent wisdom and dominance.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): The matte black saya conveys calm strength, completed by a matching black sageo cord tied in traditional fashion, representing discipline and restraint.
The Yamiryū Katana stands as a tribute to the samurai’s inner storm — a perfect harmony between darkness, honor, and power.
