Description
The Akahana Katana (紅花), meaning “Crimson Blossom,” is a stunning fusion of strength and beauty. Its vivid red blade and contrasting white handle represent both the fire of battle and the purity of the samurai spirit.
Blade (刀身): Forged from resilient manganese steel and finished in a baked red coating, the blade stands out with its mesmerizing wave patterns. Designed for durability and balance, it combines artistry with practical strength.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The gear-shaped iron tsuba adds an industrial edge to this otherwise traditional design, evoking motion and power. Its black gloss finish contrasts beautifully with the blade’s fiery tone.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): Wrapped in white cotton ito over red ray skin, the handle offers a secure grip and striking color balance. The diamond patterns reveal a vibrant red core, symbolizing energy beneath calm precision.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): The lacquered red saya completes the composition, tied with a matching white-and-red sageo cord that enhances the katana’s vibrant aesthetic.
The Akahana Katana captures the harmony between elegance and intensity — a perfect display piece for collectors who appreciate bold design and fine craftsmanship.
