Features of the Hinode Katana
The Katana Hinode 日の出 is a masterpiece that embodies elegance and power, striking the perfect balance between tradition and performance. Crafted with refined design and premium materials, this Katana is designed to captivate both collectors and martial arts practitioners alike.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Forged from Damascus steel, the blade is renowned for its durability, flexibility, and its distinctive wave-like patterns reminiscent of flowing water. These intricate designs are the result of repeated folding and forging of different types of steel, resulting in a blade that offers enhanced strength and unmatched beauty. Each Damascus steel blade is unique, with patterns resembling fingerprints, a reflection of the ancient craftsmanship passed down through generations of master swordsmiths.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The tsuba, crafted from pure copper and finely sculpted with a deep black patina, is enhanced with delicate gold detailing that elevates its complex design. A true work of art, the tsuba not only serves as a protective guard but also stands as a central element of the Katana’s aesthetic appeal, contributing to its overall balance and harmony.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya is elegantly wrapped in light red shagreen, offering a striking contrast to the subdued and mysterious allure of the blade. Shagreen, known for its distinctive texture and exceptional durability, is a luxury material traditionally used in Japanese craftsmanship for its aesthetic appeal and long-lasting quality.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Also wrapped in authentic shagreen, the tsuka provides a secure and comfortable grip, allowing for precise control during use. The golden copper menuki, delicately sculpted, add a layer of historical and symbolic meaning to the sword, as these ornamental pieces have traditionally held cultural significance in Japanese weaponry.
Dimensions
With a blade length of 72 cm and a total weight of 1.4 kg with the scabbard, the Katana Hinode is perfectly balanced, offering excellent manoeuvrability for practice while also being a stunning piece for display. Its weight and proportions make it ideal for tatami cutting, yet its craftsmanship elevates it as a true collector’s item.
