DESCRIPTION
The Kurochō Katana – 黒蝶 is crafted for enthusiasts who value aesthetics as much as structure. Its blade features a deep black finish that enhances the engraved silver motifs—flowing vines, blooming flowers, and the signature butterfly, symbolizing transformation and grace.
The white tsuka, wrapped in traditional ito, provides a bold contrast that elevates the katana’s visual identity, while the gold-accented tsuba brings subtle refinement. The saya showcases a black-and-white marbled pattern, producing an elegant swirling effect reminiscent of ink drifting across water.
Balanced, expressive, and beautifully coordinated in its monochrome theme, the Kurochō is a standout piece for display, gifting, or completing a themed collection. It carries a serene yet powerful presence—perfect for those drawn to the harmony of dark and light.
