Tachi Sword High Manganese Steel with Orange Lacquer Saya - Teal Ito & Gold-Black Chrysanthemum Tsuba

The blade is forged from high manganese steel and finished to a polished chrome surface that catches light cleanly along its length. At 41 inches overall and 3 pounds, the proportions follow the long-sword tradition of the tachi form. Full tang construction runs the steel continuously into the handle, providing structural integrity through the full assembly. The handcrafted finish reflects the kind of detail-oriented work associated with traditional Japanese Odachi sword making.

The tsuka is wrapped in teal ito using a close diamond-lozenge pattern over a black PU samegawa base. The deep teal color reads as saturated and consistent throughout the handle wrap. Gold-tone fuchi and kashira hardware at either end of the handle pick up the gold accent theme carried across the entire fitting set.

The gold-black alloy tsuba is the visual centerpiece of the piece. An openwork lattice body in matte black is framed by a polished gold rim, with chrysanthemum flower accents at each corner of the guard. The contrast between the dark ground and bright gold edging makes the tsuba stand out sharply against the teal ito behind it.

The orange hardwood saya is finished in a natural lacquer that gives it a warm, speckled surface texture. A teal-and-white braided sageo cord wraps the saya in layered loops, with small gold-tone metal fittings interspersed through the cord wrap. The saya's warm orange tones create a deliberate contrast against the cool teal of the handle and sageo - a color pairing consistent with koshirae aesthetic traditions.
