Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Crafted from T10 steel, renowned for its exceptional hardness and resistance to abrasion, the blade of the Yonaguni Katana is a stunning example of expert craftsmanship.

Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The copper tsuba, enriched with golden accents, radiates elegance and opulence. Copper’s natural malleability allows for the creation of intricate designs, making each tsuba a unique work of art. Over time, the copper develops a rich patina, deepening its character while maintaining its strength and durability, adding to the timeless beauty of the sword.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, made from lightweight magnolia wood, is finished with a delicate light blue lacquer that evokes the crystal-clear waters of Yonaguni. Magnolia wood is prized for its ability to protect the blade from moisture and environmental elements, ensuring long-lasting durability. The serene blue finish enhances the Katana’s aesthetic appeal, symbolising the tranquil yet mysterious marine surroundings of the island.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
