The katana's name comes from the art of paper folding ( \u003ci\u003eorigami\u003c\/i\u003e ), and the paper cranes displayed adorn the striking\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eTsuba\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003efuchi and \u003ci\u003ekashira\u003c\/i\u003e , which feature high-quality \u003ci\u003enanako\u003c\/i\u003e (dotted backgrounds).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The \u003ci\u003emenuki\u003c\/i\u003e depicts mime masks, which are used equally in Japanese and Western theater.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The \u003ci\u003esaya\u003c\/i\u003e houses a \u003ci\u003ekozuka\u003c\/i\u003e , which is decorated with musical instruments from the theatre.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe origami theme also carries over to the extraordinary hand-woven \u003ci\u003esageo\u003c\/i\u003e silk, which is the result of many hours of skillful work on the loom.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTamahagane steel:\u003c\/b\u003e This is produced by building and firing a traditional Japanese steel-smelting furnace, the \u003ci\u003etatara\u003c\/i\u003e . This charcoal-fired furnace produces very pure steel from iron sand. The resulting \u003ci\u003ekera\u003c\/i\u003e (flower) of steel can be broken and separated into different pieces with varying carbon contents, from which the blade core and knife core are formed. The blade sheath can then be formed. The blade sheath is now forged and folded repeatedly to remove slag inclusions and voids. It is then forged around the blade core before the resulting piece is forged into a blade—traditionally referred to as \u003ci\u003ekobuse\u003c\/i\u003e making. Careful heat treatment, shaping, and subsequent polishing reveal the \u003ci\u003ehada\u003c\/i\u003e as well as the white particles of the \u003ci\u003ehamon\u003c\/i\u003e . The result of this process is a katana that is not only very popular with enthusiasts, its elegant appearance with collectors, but also an extremely functional blade that has a particularly hard edge thanks to its carbon-containing sheath and excellent strength and shock absorption thanks to its softer core.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFrom hanwei.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Tamahagane steel blade\u003cbr\u003e - Excellent \u003ci\u003ehamon\u003c\/i\u003e and fine polishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Blade material: Tamahagane steel\u003cbr\u003e - Total length: approx. 99.7cm.\u003cbr\u003e - Blade length: approx. 71.1 cm.\u003cbr\u003e - Handle length: approx. 26cm.\u003cbr\u003e - Weight: approx. 1042 g\u003cbr\u003e - Center of gravity: approx. 10.3 cm in front of the guard\u003cbr\u003e - Blade width at guard: approx. 3.1 cm\u003cbr\u003e - Blade thickness at guard: approx.\u003cbr\u003e - Blade thickness at tip: approx. 4 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Manufacturer's item number: sh2294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The above specifications may vary slightly from specimen to specimen.\u003cbr\u003e At \u003cstrong\u003eTienda Medieval,\u003c\/strong\u003e we have thousands of medieval and other period products.
