[Japanese Art Sword] Sougetsu (Short Sword)

A special Japanese art sword crafted by "Akari by Atelier Kawakami," specialists in custom scabbard lacquer artwork.

■ Mystical Design Inspired by Moonlight and Starlight — A Radiant Marbled Sheath
A dreamlike marble pattern blending deep navy blue, pure white, and radiant gold. Scattered glitter across the sheath catches the light, twinkling gently like a night sky full of stars. True to its name "Sougetsu" (Blue Moon), this official direct-exclusivity piece combines tranquil elegance with breathtaking brilliance.

■ One-of-a-Kind Elegance
Handcrafted by skilled artisans using unique painting techniques and layered pigments, no two swords are ever identical. The scabbard features our signature cherry blossom carving, paired with a hilt made of traditional white ray skin and dark navy wrapping that blends into the night. Complemented by a refined straight temper line (Suguha), this sword elevates any space with timeless artistry.

■ Crafted with Traditional Japanese Magnolia Wood (Hoonoki)
The sheath is made of natural Hoonoki (Japanese magnolia) wood, historically favored for Japanese sword fittings. Naturally lightweight and moisture-regulating, Hoonoki provides ideal protection to keep the blade safe from rust and scratches.
