The blade shows its stylish arched shape, recreating the element of the traditional Japanese swords.
On the beautifully Japanese lacquered (Urushi-nuri) saya sheath and handle, the traditional decorative Aizu-nuri artwork is carefully hand-drawn by master craftspersons.
Aizu-nuri is a traditional lacquerware produced at Aidu-region in the North-East of Japan, with a history of about 400 years. By applying multiple layers of lacquer, it achieves a durable and beautifully glossy finish, characterized by elegant decorative techniques such as gold maki-e, chinkin, and raden. Combining practicality with long-lasting durability and delicate, refined ornamentation, Aizu-nuri remains one of Japan's representative lacquerware crafts, passed down to this day.
