[Japanese Art Sword] Yozakura (Short Sword) | Atelier Kawakami Akari

Inspired by cherry blossoms in full bloom against a pitch-black night sky, "Yozakura" is an original art sword from our atelier. Set upon a marbled background of deep black and vivid cherry-blossom pink, radiant gold petals are scattered across the scabbard, creating a mystical and elegant world over its entire surface.

The scabbard is detailed with our signature cherry blossom (sakura) engraving, complemented by an elegant deep crimson (wine red) cord wrapping and matching sageo cord. The striking contrast between natural white ray skin and deep crimson, paired with the gently undulating Notare hamon pattern on the blade, offers a condensed beauty and commanding presence unique to a short sword. An ideal art piece to elevate any interior display.
