[Japanese Art Sword] Homura (Long Sword)

A special Japanese art sword created by "Akari by Atelier Kawakami," a studio specializing in scabbard painting.

■ A Crimson Flame Rising from Deep Black — Stunning Red & Black Contrast
A striking design true to its name "Homura" (Flame), combining deep black with vivid, burning red. Crafted using a special hand-painted marble technique by skilled artisans, the scabbard changes its appearance as it catches light from different angles. This exceptional long sword combines quiet strength with vibrant elegance, bringing an overwhelming presence to any display space.

■ A One-of-a-Kind Masterpiece
Thanks to the handcrafted technique and layered colors applied by experienced artisans, no two pieces are ever identical. The scabbard features the brand's iconic "Cherry Blossom (Sakura)" engraving. The handle (tsuka) combines traditional white ray-skin with sleek black cord wrapping and matching sageo cord. The blade displays a dynamic "Gunome" (wavy) hamon pattern, perfectly accentuating the deep, fiery red of the scabbard to elevate any room with a dramatic and sophisticated atmosphere.

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