[Japanese Art Sword] Sazanami (Short Sword)

A special Japanese Art Sword created by "Akari by Atelier Kawakami," a workshop specializing in scabbard (saya) lacquering.

■ Sparkling Water and Waves on Deep Night Blue — A Delicate Sword Woven with Light and Ripples
Fine glitter is scattered across a deep navy-black scabbard, echoing the glistening water surface and the traditional "Seigaiha" (ocean wave) pattern. The Seigaiha pattern, depicting endless gentle waves, is a traditional Japanese symbol wishing for eternal peace and prosperity. Combining elegant gold-painted waves with delicate sparkling glitter, "Sazanami" (Ripples) is an exclusive masterpiece radiating a mystical beauty.

■ Harmony of Golden-Brown Cord and Dynamic Wave Temper Line (Midare Hamon)
The handle (tsuka) features traditional white ray skin (samegawa) wrapped with refined golden-brown cord, paired with a matching sageo cord. The blade features a dynamic "Midare Hamon" (irregular wave temper line), perfectly complementing the delicate sparkle of the scabbard. Handcrafted by skilled artisans, each angle reveals a unique glow, elevating any room or collection with timeless elegance.

■ Scabbard Crafted from Traditional Natural "Honoki" (Japanese Magnolia) Wood
The scabbard is made from natural "Honoki" wood, which has been used for Japanese sword fittings since ancient times. Honoki wood is exceptionally lightweight and naturally regulates humidity, making it the ideal material to gently protect the blade from rust and scratches.
