An exquisite Japanese Art Sword created by "Akari by Atelier Kawakami," a specialized workshop dedicated to scabbard (saya) lacquer craftsmanship.

■ Stars Twinkling in the Jet-Black Sky — A Mystical Sword with Blue Shell Dusting
Finely crushed blue mother-of-pearl (aogai) is delicately sprinkled like stardust across a deep, glossy black scabbard. Depending on the angle of light, it emits mesmerizing reflections of blue, green, and purple, evoking the serene elegance of a starry night sky. "Seiso" is an exclusive masterpiece that seamlessly blends radiant brilliance with refined grace.

■ One-of-a-Kind Elegance
Handcrafted by skilled artisans who meticulously place each piece of shell and apply multiple layers of clear coating to achieve a smooth polish, no two scabbards ever share the exact same pattern. The scabbard is adorned with the brand's signature cherry blossom (sakura) engraving. The hilt (tsuka) features traditional white ray skin paired with crisp black cord wrapping and hanging cord (sageo). The blade showcases a beautifully repeating "Gunome" hamon (wave pattern), perfectly harmonizing with the scabbard's cosmic shimmer to elevate any interior space.

■ Crafted from Traditional "Honoki" (Japanese Magnolia Wood)
The scabbard is crafted from natural Honoki wood, a material cherished in Japanese swordmaking for centuries. Lightweight and naturally moisture-regulating, Honoki provides the ideal protection against rust and scratches.
