Features of the Owari Katana
The Owari Katana is a stunning masterpiece that epitomises the finest elements of traditional Japanese swordsmanship. Designed for practitioners and collectors alike, this Katana offers an impeccable combination of beauty and functionality, making it a true work of art.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from purple Damascus steel, the blade of the Owari Katana is a remarkable display of technical expertise and visual allure. Renowned for its intricate patterns and outstanding resilience, Damascus steel ensures exceptional sharpness and durability. The unique purple hue adds a touch of mystique and elegance, symbolising nobility and strength. Perfect for demonstrations or handling, this blade seamlessly blends aesthetics with high-level performance.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The copper tsuba is a testament to elegance and tradition. Crafted with precision, copper was chosen for its malleability and corrosion resistance, ensuring durability and a luxurious finish. Every detail of the tsuba has been carefully sculpted, transforming it into not only a protective feature but also a centrepiece that enhances the overall aesthetic of the Katana.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
Inspired by the tachi style, the saya exudes rare sophistication. It is adorned with traditional fittings, including the obitori kanagu kashiwaba and kogiri, which enhance its distinguished and authentic appearance. The extended tsuka-ito cord wrapped around the saya not only improves grip but also adds to the overall elegance, ensuring the Katana is as practical as it is visually appealing.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine ray skin (shagreen), the tsuka provides a secure and comfortable grip. The textured surface of ray skin is highly valued for its durability and non-slip properties, making it ideal for even the most demanding training sessions. Frequently used in high-end Katanas, this premium material ensures longevity and lends a refined aesthetic to the handle.
Ornaments (Menuki) and Fixation (Mekugi)
Copper menuki and mekugi contribute to both the Katana’s structural integrity and its visual appeal. These finely detailed components add an element of luxury to the sword while securely fastening the blade to the handle, ensuring stability during use.
The Owari Katana transcends functionality, standing as a brilliant example of Japanese craftsmanship. With its premium materials, refined design, and intricate details, this Katana is an exceptional choice for serious sword practice or as a standout piece in a traditional Japanese weapon collection.
