The Kurohana Naginata 黒花薙刀 takes its name from the “Black Flower,” symbolizing both elegance and lethal power. Revered as the weapon of samurai and onna-bugeisha (female warriors), the naginata represents discipline, reach, and precision in battle.
Blade: Forged from high manganese steel, the 60 cm blade is polished to a silver sheen, designed for wide sweeping strikes and precise cuts.
Guard (Tsuba 鍔): The round alloy tsuba is engraved with subtle floral motifs, marrying strength and artistry while offering protection.
Shaft: Measuring 122 cm, the black lacquered shaft gives the naginata its imposing length, reinforced with alloy fittings for stability and control.
Dimensions: With a total length of 182 cm, this naginata balances reach and maneuverability, making it ideal for martial arts practice, reenactments, or as a collector’s centerpiece.
The Kurohana Naginata 黒花薙刀 embodies the spirit of Japanese craftsmanship — a weapon that is as much a symbol of grace as it is of power. Whether for display, training, or appreciation of samurai tradition, it is a timeless piece of art and history.
