The Katana Yasuke 弥助 is a collector's piece that embodies strength and subtlety, inspired by the heritage of the only African samurai in Japanese history.
Blade (刀身): The bluish blade, made from a zinc alloy, is first and foremost an aesthetic feat. Although zinc alloy is not traditional for functional blades, it offers a striking visual finish and requires less maintenance, making it ideal for collectors or decorative use.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The sculpted copper Tsuba is a tribute to Japanese art and craftsmanship, with details that capture the finesse and complexity of traditional design. Copper, a material that ages gracefully, adds a touch of authenticity and history to the ensemble.
Sheath (Saya 鞘): The ebony wood Saya is exceptional, not only for its sturdiness but also for its elegant appearance. The bull horn Kurigata is a luxurious detail that enhances the material richness of the scabbard, while the rope ensures a secure grip.
Handle (Tsuka 柄): Genuine stingray leather offers incomparable texture and grip, essential for precise, comfortable handling. Zinc alloy Menuki Kit and bamboo Mekugi ensure that handle elements stay securely in place, while adding an aesthetic touch.
