Hanwei Golden Oriole Katana
|
The Golden Oriole carries the two essential weapons of the Samurai, the Katana and the Wakizashi. It has been said that in simplicity lies great beauty, an axiom stunningly validated by the Golden Oriole Katana and Wakizashi Japanese Swords. The story told by the stunning tsuba is of a mantis stealthily stalking the cricket, unaware that he is himself being stalked by the Golden Oriole.
The deeply lacquered blue of the saya is repeated in the Japanese Sword cotton tsuka-ito, and the Oriole appears again on the kashira. Unmistakably Hanwei quality, the 14" tsuka of the katana gives a superb balance to the sword, allowing it to move very quickly and very freely. This beautiful Samurai Sword is supplied with a protective cloth bag and traditional maintenance kit.
