| About This Item |
Each piece in the Kami set has a hand-forged and folded K120C powder
steel blade with a long (o) kissaki featuring a hand engraved “Fudo”
Horomono and Bo-Hi. The folding process creates exceptional hada, or
grain pattern, along the blade accentuated by the distinctive hamon.
Saya are deeply lacquered in red, with a black ring-carved section at
the mouth. The ray skin used on the tsuka is of the highest quality,
and the tsuka-ito on the Katana and Wakizashi and the sageo on all
three pieces are woven from best quality Japanese silk. The Fuchi,
Kashira, Kojiri, Koiguchi and Kurigata are all made from blackened
bronze, with decoration in relief and selective detailing of copper,
silver and gold. The Tsuba of the Katana and Wakizashi, depicting the
Kami, or Guardian Warriors, are made from hardened blackened copper,
with decoration in relief and selective silver and gold detailing. The
Habaki is of two-piece construction, the inner section being copper and
the outer section gold-plated brass.
