[Japanese Art Sword] Yozakura (Long Sword)

A special Japanese Art Sword crafted by "Akari by Atelier Kawakami," a studio specializing in custom scabbard lacquerwork.

■ Cherry Blossoms Dancing in the Serene Night — A Masterpiece of Dark and Soft Pink
Inspired by "Yozakura" (cherry blossoms under the night sky), this sword features a breathtaking marbling of deep black, soft pink, and white, adorned with delicate gold cherry blossom petals. Expressed through intricate hand-painting techniques, this piece wraps your space in a quiet yet captivating elegance.

■ One-of-a-Kind Elegance with Unique Handcrafted Detail
Created using special techniques by skilled artisans, no two pieces are ever identical. The handle features traditional white ray skin (Samegawa) wrapped with sophisticated azuki-bean (reddish-brown) cord, perfectly matched with the same shade on the scabbard (Sageo). The blade is accented with a gentle, wave-like "Notare" hamon pattern, highlighting the graceful beauty of the night blossom design.

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