Product Details

The blade is forged from damascus steel, displaying the characteristic layered grain pattern across its 40.55-inch length. A hamon line runs along the edge - the visible boundary left by differential heat treatment - giving the chrome-finished blade a dynamic, cloud-like contour that catches light differently from every angle. The blade profile follows a classic katana curvature, tapering cleanly to a fine point with consistent geometry from spine to edge.

The tsuka is wrapped in deep green ito cord over a foundation of white pearl rayskin (samegawa), the tiny nodules of the rayskin providing texture beneath the braid. The cord forms the traditional diagonal diamond pattern, leaving evenly spaced windows of white rayskin visible between each pass. This is a full-tang construction - the steel runs the complete length of the handle, secured within the hardwood core for structural integrity. At 2.8 lbs, the assembled sword sits in a balanced range suited for extended display handling.

The tsuba is one of the most visually striking elements of this koshirae. Cast in silver-toned alloy, it features a raised ocean wave motif finished in gold - turbulent crests rendered in fine detail across the circular guard. The gold fuchi at the base of the tsuba transitions cleanly into the green tsuka, with a matching kashira cap completing the handle fittings. The overall silver-gold and green palette runs consistently across every component. Collectors interested in similarly styled mountings can explore our full Green Handle Katana selection.

The saya is shaped from hardwood and finished in a deep black lacquer, wrapped in genuine pearl rayskin along the lower body. The rayskin adds a tactile, pebbled surface texture beneath the gloss, visible in the mid-section of the scabbard. A green-and-white braided sageo is tied at the kurikata in a traditional knot with tasseled ends, echoing the ito color and tying the full presentation together.
