Features of the Owari Katana
The Katana Owari is an exceptional masterpiece, embodying the finest elements of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Whether for practitioners or collectors, this katana represents both beauty and functionality, making it a true work of art.
Blade (Tōshin 刀身)
The blade, forged from purple Damascus steel, is a remarkable fusion of technical skill and visual allure. Known for its intricate patterns and outstanding durability, Damascus steel ensures this blade offers superior sharpness alongside exceptional resilience. The unique purple hue adds a mystical depth and elegance, symbolising both nobility and strength. Perfect for both demonstrations and handling, this blade combines aesthetics and performance seamlessly.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔)
The finely crafted copper tsuba exemplifies elegance and tradition. Copper, selected for its malleability and resistance to corrosion, ensures both long-lasting durability and a luxurious finish. Every detail has been meticulously sculpted, making the guard not just a protective feature but a central piece of the katana’s refined aesthetic.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘)
Inspired by the tachi style, the saya is a display of rare sophistication. Adorned with traditional fittings such as the obitori kanagu kashiwaba and kogiri, these elements enhance its distinguished appearance. The extended tsuka-ito cord on the saya not only contributes to the overall visual appeal but also improves grip, making the katana easier to handle with grace and precision.
Handle (Tsuka 柄)
The tsuka, wrapped in genuine ray skin (shagreen), offers a secure and comfortable grip. Ray skin is valued for its textured surface and durability, ensuring optimal adhesion even during the most rigorous training sessions. This high-quality material is frequently used in premium katanas due to its longevity and refined aesthetic.
Ornaments (Menuki) and Fixation (Mekugi)
The copper menuki and mekugi provide both structural integrity and a distinctive visual touch. Every detail has been crafted to complement the katana’s overall design, adding an element of luxury while also ensuring the sword’s stability and security.
