Features of the Yūga Katana
The Katana Yūga is a true tribute to elegance and sophistication, perfectly living up to its name, which means “grace” in Japanese. This Katana is designed to capture the essence of tradition while combining finesse with performance.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from 1095 steel, renowned for its purity and high carbon content, the blade is noted for its strength and ability to maintain an exceptionally sharp edge. The delicately traced Hamon along the blade showcases mastery in the tempering process, ensuring an ideal balance between hardness and flexibility. This blade is a fine example of artisanal craftsmanship, demonstrating both resilience and precision.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The finely sculpted brass Tsuba strikes a perfect balance between protection and artistry. Brass, chosen for its durability and natural resistance to oxidation, ensures the guard’s longevity through the ages while adding a touch of opulence to the Katana’s overall aesthetic.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
Crafted from solid wood, the Saya offers reliable protection while presenting an understated elegance. Its simple design highlights the raw beauty of the blade, providing optimal protection against environmental elements and external impacts, without distracting from the Katana’s graceful form.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine ray skin (shagreen), the Tsuka provides a unique texture and comfortable grip, ensuring secure handling during use. This material, favoured by high-ranking samurai for its exceptional durability and refined appearance, enhances the prestigious character of the Katana, offering both function and luxury.
The Katana Yūga stands out for its refinement and harmony, making it the ideal choice for practitioners seeking a high-performing and aesthetically pleasing weapon, or for collectors aiming to acquire an exceptional piece.
