The tsuba, made from zinc alloy and finished with delicate gilding, strikes the perfect balance between strength and lightness. Zinc’s natural resistance to corrosion enhances the longevity of the guard, while its intricate, finely sculpted details elevate the sword’s overall aesthetic. The gilded accents add a touch of sophistication, seamlessly blending form and function.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, constructed from lacquered green wood, offers both durability and visual elegance. The high-quality lacquer provides a smooth, glossy finish that protects the wood from environmental damage, including moisture and scratches. Complementing the saya is a durable cotton sageo, designed to securely fasten the Katana while enhancing its cohesive and refined appearance.

This material ensures a comfortable and secure grip, essential for precise handling during technical movements.
