- Gold-tone chrysanthemum tsuba cast with a lattice-texture reverse side and a matching gold habaki - a cohesive koshirae aesthetic from guard to collar.
- Black hardwood saya finished in high-gloss piano lacquer with hand-painted floral and butterfly motifs in white, green, gold, and blue on a black ground.
- Red glitter-textured saya panels contrast the black lacquer base, secured with a dark green sageo knotted in a traditional style around the mouth of the scabbard.

Product Details
The blade is forged from folded Damascus steel, its layered grain running in flowing waves from the base to the tip. A visible hamon line traces the edge, produced during the heat-treatment process and left exposed by hand-finishing to a chrome polish. At 40.5 inches overall and 1.26 inches wide at the base, the full-tang construction ensures the blade is anchored solidly through the length of the handle - a detail you can confirm by looking at the exposed tang at the pommel end.
The tsuka is wrapped in black-green ito in a traditional diagonal braid over a textured samegawa base. Gold-tone menuki accents are set beneath the wrap on both faces of the handle, adding visual detail without disrupting the grip geometry. The kashira at the pommel echoes the gold hardware tone used throughout the fittings.
The gold-tone chrysanthemum tsuba is the defining accent of the koshirae. The face carries a low-relief chrysanthemum motif, while the reverse is cast with a fine lattice basketweave texture - visible in the detail image. A matching gold habaki collar seats cleanly between the tsuba and the blade, completing the guard assembly with consistent metalwork.
The hardwood saya is finished in deep black piano lacquer with hand-painted botanical artwork: white lilies, green vines, a blue butterfly, and gold accent stems run along the lower half of the scabbard. The upper section transitions to red glitter-textured panels, and a dark green sageo is knotted in a traditional wrap around the koiguchi. For collectors interested in similarly styled pieces, the Orange Pattern Steel Katana collection offers comparable decorative koshirae options.
Overall length is 40.5 inches with a blade width of 1.26 inches and a spine thickness of 0.275 inches. The assembled piece weighs 3.17 lbs. If you prefer a shorter format with the same Damascus construction, the Damascus Steel Short Katana collection is worth exploring. Note: a display stand is not included.
