Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from Damascus steel, the blade of the Katana Ozayaka features mesmerising wave-like patterns that evoke the fluidity of water. Renowned for its durability and resistance to breakage, Damascus steel offers the ideal balance between sharpness and flexibility, making it well-suited for both cutting practice and display.

Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The copper tsuba is a work of art, adorned with intricate gold-accented motifs inspired by Japanese nature. Copper’s malleability allows for detailed designs, while its strength provides reliable hand protection. The tsuba seamlessly combines elegance with practicality, adding a sophisticated focal point that complements the Katana’s overall design.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The black lacquered saya is embellished with a striking dragon motif, symbolising wisdom and power in Japanese culture. The smooth lacquer finish not only protects the wood from wear and environmental damage but also enhances the intricate design, giving the scabbard a polished and luxurious appearance.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The tsuka is wrapped in authentic white ray skin (shagreen), providing a secure and non-slip grip. The textured surface of shagreen, prized for its strength and durability, ensures comfort and control during handling, even in demanding situations. This premium material adds a touch of opulence to the Katana, perfectly balancing its functional and decorative qualities.
Menuki and Mekugi
The copper menuki, subtly placed under the handle wrapping, add a refined decorative element while ensuring balance and grip. Traditional bamboo mekugi securely attach the blade to the handle, maintaining structural integrity and adhering to the age-old techniques of Japanese sword-making.
