Features of the Heiwa Katana
The Heiwa Katana, meaning “peace” in Japanese, is a remarkable piece that subtly blends tradition with symbolism, capturing the essence of the samurai clans’ heritage. With its refined aesthetic and delicate floral motifs, this Katana represents both beauty and strength, offering a perfect balance between elegance and functionality.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
The 71 cm blade, forged from T10 carbon steel, stands out with its captivating violet sheen. T10 steel is known for its exceptional strength and its ability to maintain a sharp edge, making it an excellent choice for cutting practice on tatami mats. The inclusion of a bo-hi (groove) and a subtly visible hamon line not only enhance the blade’s aesthetic appeal but also improve its lightness and balance, optimising performance during cutting practice.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The finely sculpted iron tsuba is a true work of art. Adorned with intricate and elegant motifs, it adds to the historical character of the Katana, evoking the emblems of ancient Japanese clans. Beyond its protective function, the tsuba brings an artistic and symbolic dimension to the sword, elevating its overall aesthetic.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, crafted from solid wood and finished with a pristine white lacquer, is beautifully decorated with delicate floral motifs. These designs, reminiscent of traditional samurai crests, bring an air of serenity while also reflecting the strength and resilience of Japan’s warrior clans. The result is a Katana that possesses a unique and timeless identity.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The tsuka is wrapped in genuine ray skin (galuchat), renowned for its granular texture and exceptional durability. This material ensures a secure and firm grip, adding an elegant touch to the overall design. Praised for its luxurious finish, galuchat enhances both the aesthetic appeal and the handling comfort of the Katana, ensuring a smooth and safe experience.
The Heiwa Katana perfectly embodies the balance between beauty and performance. With its violet T10 steel blade, white floral-patterned scabbard, and finely sculpted tsuba, this Katana pays homage to Japan’s rich traditions and the legacy of the samurai clans. Ideal for martial arts enthusiasts looking to practise tameshigiri (cutting on tatami), it also serves as a refined collector’s piece, offering a blend of functionality and artistry.
