Features of the Kikumon Katana
The Katana Kikumon 菊紋, named after the chrysanthemum—an imperial symbol of Japan—exemplifies majesty, merging traditional values with modern performance. This Katana embodies both elegance and strength, designed for those who appreciate the full grandeur of Japanese sword craftsmanship.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
Crafted from 1095 high-carbon steel, the blade of the Katana Kikumon is renowned for its exceptional hardness and ability to retain a razor-sharp edge. The claw-shaped hamon, achieved through a meticulous tempering process, highlights the masterful technique of the swordsmith, providing the blade with both durability and aesthetic appeal. This careful treatment ensures that the sword is both visually striking and performance-ready.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The tsuba, made from pure gold-plated copper, is adorned with intricately sculpted chrysanthemum motifs—a tribute to the nobility and imperial heritage of Japan. More than just protection for the hand, the tsuba adds a historical and artistic dimension to the Katana, symbolising strength and beauty, while also enhancing its overall appearance.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
The saya, crafted from luxurious ebony wood, combines both durability and elegance, providing optimal protection for the blade. The bull horn kurigata not only adds a natural and prestigious touch but also reinforces the scabbard’s strength, making it a perfect complement to the weapon. The balance between practicality and aesthetic beauty is reflected in this high-quality component.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
Wrapped in genuine shagreen (ray skin), the tsuka offers a secure and comfortable grip, essential for precise handling of the Katana. The distinctive texture of shagreen, highly valued for its durability and natural grip-enhancing properties, adds a tactile luxury to the weapon. This ensures both a practical and elegant finishing touch to the Katana’s design.
Menuki
The gold-plated copper menuki, subtly integrated beneath the tsuka wrapping, not only serve as refined decorative elements but also help distribute the weight of the Katana, enhancing its balance and manoeuvrability. Their design perfectly complements the overall aesthetic, reinforcing the elegance and harmony of this martial masterpiece.
The Katana Kikumon 菊紋 is an extraordinary piece, masterfully blending historical heritage with modern demands. Its 1095 high-carbon steel blade, gold-plated copper accents, and refined aesthetic make this Katana a true treasure—ideal for collectors and practitioners alike, seeking to own a martial arts masterpiece that reflects both beauty and functionality.
