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

■ The Beauty of Cherry Blossoms at Night — A Scabbard Capturing the Essence of Yozakura
This piece captures the delicate beauty of cherry blossom petals falling against a deep black backdrop, enveloped in soft, misty white tones. "Yozakura" (Night Cherry Blossoms) brings the serene and magical atmosphere of a spring night into your living space.

■ One-of-a-Kind Elegance with Unique Handcrafted Detail
Created through intricate hand-painted layering by skilled artisans, no two swords are identical. The scabbard features the brand’s signature sakura emblem. The handle (tsuka) is crafted with authentic white ray skin and bound with deep chestnut-brown cords. The blade features a distinctive wave-like "Gunome" hamon pattern, adding refined craftsmanship to any collection.

■ Traditional Magnolia Wood (Hoonoki) Scabbard
The scabbard is crafted from natural Japanese magnolia wood (Hoonoki), a material traditionally used for Japanese sword fittings. Lightweight and naturally humidity-regulating, it protects the blade from moisture and scratches.

【⚠️ Important Purchase Notes】
* Because natural wood is used and each item is individually hand-painted by artisans, slight variations in color, pattern, weight, and size may occur. Please enjoy each piece as a unique work of art.
* This product is a "Japanese Art Sword" designed strictly for display and appreciation. It is not an Iaito (practice sword). While light swinging is fine, do NOT use it for martial arts practice or blade contact, as this may cause injury or damage.
* Although the blade is made of metal, it is completely unsharpened for safety reasons.
