Beyond its role as a hand guard, the tsuba adds a sense of grandeur to the Katana, elevating its overall aesthetic and imbuing it with deep cultural significance.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, made from copper and sculpted brass, is as impressive as the blade itself. Intricate gold dragon detailing weaves across its surface, adding mythical and symbolic depth to the Katana’s design. Durable and carefully crafted to protect the blade, the scabbard is a visual masterpiece that complements the elegance of the entire sword.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The tsuka is wrapped in genuine ray skin (shagreen), prized for its textured surface and remarkable durability. This material ensures a secure and comfortable grip during use, enhancing control and precision.
