[Japanese Art Sword] Sazanami (Long Sword)

A special Japanese Art Sword created by "Akari by Atelier Kawakami," a studio specializing in custom scabbard (Saya) painting.

■ Ripples and Waves Shimmering in the Night Sea — The Elegance of the Glittering Deep Navy Saya
Layered over a deep navy base dusted with fine glitter, the traditional "Seigaiha" (ocean wave) pattern comes to life. This design evokes the peaceful power of rolling waves and the gentle sparkle of light on water. "Sazanami" (Ripples) is an exclusive masterpiece that seamlessly blends elegant shimmer with classic Japanese artistry.

■ One-of-a-Kind Elegance with Unique Character
Created through intricate hand-crafting techniques and multiple layers of paint by skilled artisans, no two pieces are exactly alike. The scabbard features the studio's signature cherry blossom (Sakura) crest, while the hilt (Tsuka) and cord (Sageo) are wrapped in refined golden-tan thread over authentic white ray skin. The blade displays a dramatic "Midare" (undulating wave) hamon pattern, adding a striking presence that enhances any room.

■ Scabbard Made from Traditional Japanese Magnolia Wood (Hoonoki)
The scabbard is crafted from natural Japanese Magnolia (Hoonoki), a wood traditionally used for Japanese sword fittings. Light in weight and naturally moisture-regulating, it gently protects the metal blade from rust and scratches.
