[Japanese Art Sword] Sougetsu (Long Sword)| Atelier Kawakami Akari

A special Japanese art sword crafted by Atelier Kawakami, specialists in custom scabbard (saya) painting.

■ Original Technique "Sougetsu" — A Mystical Blade Wrapped in Moonlight

Featuring our signature "Marble Paint" technique developed in-house. "Sougetsu" expresses a deeply mystical work, where brilliant gold and silver swirl like moonlight and meteors against a deep navy blue background. This delicate yet imposing texture—an exclusive craft found only at our studio—covers the entire scabbard, making it a unique masterwork available directly from us.

■ One-of-a-Kind Elegance with No Two Alike

Created through meticulous layers of hand-brushed paint, no two pieces ever produce the same pattern or coloration.

The scabbard is detailed with our signature cherry blossom (sakura) engraving. The handle (tsuka) features traditional white ray skin paired with dark navy cord wrapping and a matching sageo cord designed to evoke the deep night sky. The blade displays an elegant, undulating Midare hamon pattern, creating a sophisticated and dignified accent for any display space.
