Features of the Heiwa Katana
The Heiwa Katana, meaning “peace” in Japanese, is a stunning sword that delicately intertwines tradition with symbolism, embodying the samurai clans’ heritage. With its refined design and delicate floral motifs, this Katana beautifully balances elegance and strength, making it ideal for collectors and practitioners alike.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
The 71 cm blade, forged from high-grade T10 carbon steel, is distinguished by its striking violet sheen. T10 steel is prized for its superior strength and edge retention, making it a top choice for cutting practice on tatami mats. The inclusion of a bo-hi (groove) enhances the blade’s balance and reduces its weight, ensuring optimal control during practice. A subtle yet distinct hamon line highlights the traditional clay tempering process, combining aesthetics with functionality.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The intricately sculpted iron tsuba is both protective and ornamental. Adorned with elegant motifs inspired by samurai crests, it adds historical character and symbolism to the Katana. Its durable iron construction ensures long-lasting strength, while the detailed artistry elevates the sword’s aesthetic appeal, making it a central feature of this remarkable piece.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
Crafted from solid wood and finished in pristine white lacquer, the saya is a standout element of the Heiwa Katana. Delicate floral motifs adorn the surface, evoking serenity and honouring the strength of Japan’s warrior clans. The timeless design ensures the scabbard protects the blade while enhancing the overall visual harmony of the Katana.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The tsuka is wrapped in genuine ray skin (shagreen), celebrated for its granular texture and exceptional durability. This luxurious material not only adds an elegant finish but also ensures a secure and comfortable grip, even during prolonged handling. Its ergonomic design makes the tsuka ideal for precise and safe movements, whether in practice or display.
The Heiwa Katana captures the spirit of samurai heritage with its violet T10 steel blade, pristine white lacquered saya, and finely crafted iron tsuba. Designed to honour Japanese traditions, it’s an exceptional choice for martial arts enthusiasts practising tameshigiri (tatami mat cutting), or for collectors seeking a unique and artistic piece. With its blend of functionality and artistry, the Heiwa Katana is a testament to the enduring legacy of Japanese craftsmanship.
