It has been said that in simplicity lies great beauty, an axiom stunningly validated by the Golden Oriole Katana Sword. 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 a work of art as is the Japanese cotton tsuka-ito, and the Mantis appears again on the kashira. Unmistakably Hanwei quality, the 14" tsuka of the Katana Sword gives a superb balance to the sword, allowing it to move very quickly and very freely. Supplied with a protective cloth bag and traditional maintenance kit.
