Description
The Byakuren Katana (白蓮), or “White Lotus,” is a blade of quiet elegance and profound symbolism. Inspired by the lotus flower’s purity rising above the mud, it embodies the disciplined serenity of the samurai spirit.
Blade (刀身): Forged using the San-Mai method, this katana features a T10 High Carbon Steel core layered between Damascus steel, balancing exceptional cutting strength with aesthetic ripples across the surface. Each fold reflects both resilience and grace.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The copper tsuba is engraved with refined floral motifs, its golden tones harmonizing with the white accents of the saya — an homage to the beauty found in simplicity.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): Wrapped in black silk ito over pristine white ray skin, the handle offers a timeless contrast that mirrors the balance of yin and yang. Subtle floral menuki rest beneath the wrap, embodying the hidden strength of inner calm.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): The matte black saya, adorned with flowing white lotus and vine designs, creates a striking visual reminiscent of ink art on washi paper. The white sageo cord complements the composition, completing a look of understated refinement.
The Byakuren Katana stands as a symbol of purity, mindfulness, and mastery — a perfect union of form and philosophy for collectors and practitioners who value both artistry and soul.
