Paper Crane Katana
Yes you saw it correctly! SamuraiSupply.com is selling this beautiful heirloom quality Paper Crane Katana for just $2199!! Take a look at what is has to offer.
The Paul Chen Paper Crane Katana (SH2294)
is without doubt the greatest achievement in sword making artistry yet
available from Hanwei. The blade is crafted from Hanwei's own Tamahagane Steel while the fittings
reflect the atmosphere of the Japanese theater. The Paper Crane name
stems from the origami (the art of paper folding) cranes that decorate the
striking Tsuba and Fuchi/Kashira, all of which feature highly-prized Nanako
or stippled backgrounds. The Menuki feature thespian masks, a symbol shared by
the Japanese theater and its western counterpart. The Saya of the Katana Sword
houses a Kozuka (small knife). The Kozuka is decorated with musical instruments
of the theater. The Paper Crane theme is carried to the outstanding
hand woven silk Sageo, the result of many hours of skilled work on a hand loom.
