Description
The Hi Ryū Katana (火龍), meaning “Fire Dragon,” channels the fierce energy of the legendary creature that symbolizes destruction and creation — the eternal flame of transformation. This katana fuses vivid artistry with traditional Japanese forging mastery.
Blade (刀身): Forged from T10 High Carbon Steel, the blade displays a visible hamon that mirrors waves of heat shimmering through air. Its sharpness and polish reflect the disciplined fire of the swordsmith’s spirit.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The copper tsuba is sculpted with flowing patterns inspired by dragon scales and smoke, capturing the movement of flame and power.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): Wrapped in black silk over genuine ray skin, the handle provides a traditional and firm grip, complemented by copper menuki shaped as dragons, symbolizing protection and strength.
Scabbard (Saya 鞘): The saya is a masterpiece of lacquer art — dark volcanic orange fading into black, with a detailed red dragon in flight. The red sageo cord completes the fiery aesthetic, evoking the heart of a volcano.
Vivid and powerful, the Hi Ryū Katana embodies the essence of the dragon’s flame — a blade of passion, courage, and rebirth. Perfect for collectors seeking both legend and precision.
