Katana “Shiroi Hana”

The “Shiroi Hana” katana, symbolizing the “White Flower” in Japan, features a blade hand-forged from T10 steel and clay-tempered to create a genuine hamon. The saya is crafted from genuine hardwood with a delicate white-pigmented finish, enhancing its elegant appearance. The handle of the samurai sword is traditionally covered with real ray skin and tightly wrapped in black polyester cord.

The high-quality craftsmanship and the simple yet elegant design make this katana a standout in the mid-price range. It embodies a blend of traditional artistry and aesthetic grace, making it a prized addition to any collection.
