Discover the elegance and profound symbolism of the Autumn Ginkgo Leaf Samurai Sword by Dragon King. Representing longevity, the ginkgo leaf embodies a timeless duality, reflected in the unique design of this katana.
The Autumn Leaf Katana perfectly illustrates this harmony between endurance and finitude through its refined motif. The blackened, moon-shaped stainless steel tsuba evoke falling ginkgo leaves, while the moon seems to accompany the songs of the menuki adorned with grasshoppers and crickets, traditional symbols of good fortune in Japan.
Its 5160 carbon steel blade, featuring a 1 ½" kissaki, offers optimized geometry for precise and effective cuts, without the risk of chipping on soft or semi-hard targets. The handle is wrapped in beige tsuka-ito, complemented by a blackened fuchi and fuchi-kashira, held in place by a double bamboo mekugi for increased solidity.
The saya features a textured brown lacquered finish, with a buffalo horn-rimmed koiguchi and a kurikata equipped with a black sageo, combining traditional aesthetics and functionality. This sword is a tribute to the tradition and art of the samurai, perfect for collectors and enthusiasts of Japanese weaponry.
