The Katana Yonaguni 与那国 is a masterpiece that evokes the mysterious eponymous island, known for its crystal-clear waters and buried mysteries.
Blade (刀身): T10 steel, renowned for its abrasion resistance and long-lasting sharpness, is chosen for this Katana. The crossed Hamon is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also testifies to the technical mastery of the blacksmith, guaranteeing a blade as effective as it is beautiful. The mirror polish reflects not only the environment, but also the purity of the art of swordsmanship.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): In finely carved copper with gilding, the Tsuba illustrates wealth and majesty. Copper is prized for its malleability, which allows the creation of complex patterns, and its patina, which embellishes over time, adding character to the sword.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): The Saya in light blue lacquered magnolia wood recalls the limpid waters of Yonaguni. This wood is specially selected for its quality and ability to protect the blade from the elements, while adding a distinctive note of color.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): Solid wood provides a solid foundation, while white Stingray leather adds rich texture and a sure grip. This leather is renowned for its strength and beauty, echoing the rare and precious pearls of the sea.
The Katana Yonaguni 与那国 is an exceptional collector's item that will delight connoisseurs, reflecting the harmony between the art of forging and natural wonders.
