DESCRIPTION
The Shiryū no Yaiba is designed to stand out with its striking color palette and exceptional detailing. The deep purple blade, adorned with intricate white dragon etchings, creates a dramatic visual contrast that immediately captures attention. Forged from 1060 carbon steel, the blade offers dependable strength and a clean, refined edge suitable for collectors and practitioners alike.
The alloy fittings—decorated with sculpted gold and silver dragons—enhance the sword’s regal and mythical character. The tsuba, fuchi, and kashira all contribute to a cohesive design language inspired by classical Japanese symbolism and fantasy aesthetics.
The tsuka is wrapped in rich purple ito over black samegawa, revealing golden dragon menuki beneath the weave. The saya continues this expressive theme with a shimmering metallic purple lacquer and detailed dragon artwork, resulting in a katana that is visually cohesive from end to end.
With its long 27 cm handle and well-balanced construction, the Shiryū no Yaiba offers impressive handling and presence. This sword excels as a centerpiece for display while remaining fully functional in build and performance.
