Features of the Rōtasu Katana
The Katana Rōtasu ロータス is a true homage to Japanese craftsmanship, blending premium materials to deliver an authentic and refined experience, perfect for martial practice or as part of a distinguished collection. Every aspect of this Katana reflects the harmony between aesthetics and functionality, making it an exceptional piece.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from Damascus steel, the blade of the Katana Rōtasu stands out with its unique wave-like patterns, reminiscent of fingerprints, created through the repeated folding of multiple layers of steel. These stunning patterns not only offer an unrivalled visual appeal but also signify the blade’s strength and durability. Known for maintaining an exceptionally sharp edge, this blade is both a work of art and a reliable tool, suitable for cutting demonstrations and practice.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The copper tsuba is finely engraved with delicate floral motifs, symbolising nature and purity. Copper, chosen for its malleability and longevity, provides solid hand protection while adding a subtle elegance to the Katana. The intricate carvings on the guard reflect meticulous craftsmanship, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the sword.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, crafted from lacquered wood in a vibrant orange, represents vitality and passion, beautifully contrasting with the understated Damascus steel blade. The sageo, expertly braided in cotton, not only ensures the scabbard is securely fastened when worn but also adds comfort for the user. Together, these elements create a visually striking saya while offering reliable protection for the blade.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine white shagreen, the tsuka guarantees optimal grip due to its signature textured surface. This material, valued for its durability and anti-slip properties, provides a firm and secure hold during use. Copper menuki, carefully crafted and embedded into the handle, balance the aesthetic while enhancing the Katana’s manoeuvrability, contributing to perfect weight distribution and precision.
The Katana Rōtasu ロータス is a truly exceptional piece that fuses traditional Japanese craftsmanship with a vibrant, refined aesthetic. Its Damascus steel blade, finely engraved copper fittings, and bold orange scabbard come together to create a stunning martial artwork. Designed for discerning sword enthusiasts and collectors, this Katana embodies both power and grace, reflecting the essence of Japanese art in every detail.
