Description
Delicately textured genuine ray skin cloaks the tsuka, offset by brilliant scarlet cord and a subtle, intricately formed bronze menuki. Traditional bamboo mekugi firmly wed the Pearl Zen’s tsuka to the blade tang beneath, just like the storied katana wielded by samurai centuries ago. Bookending the tsuka, the flawlessly cast brass tsuba and kashira showcase swirling floral patterns and enchanting dragon motifs – every detail rendered in stunning relief.
