Hanafubuki Katana (T10 Steel with Genuine Choji Hamon)

In April, when the wind shakes the cherry trees in bloom, millions of petals rise in a pink cloud that lasts only minutes: this is the hanafubuki, the petal blizzard. The Hanafubuki Katana evokes that fleeting scene through its choji hamon, a wavy line where each curve recalls the outline of a small blossom after the rain.

The choji hamon is one of the most delicate figures obtained through differential hardening: it forms when the master applies the clay in small regular mounds before quenching, letting a sequence of white petals emerge on the dark steel. High-carbon T10 steel, edge hardness of 60-62 HRC, nagasa of roughly 70 cm.

The mounting accompanies the theme with springtime elegance: antique-pink ito over samegawa, a light alloy tsuba chiseled with a floral motif, a saya lacquered in ivory with pink undertones, and a matching sageo. Light copper habaki.

A perfect collector's piece for lovers of hanami aesthetics, for bright interiors where the blade can shine, or as a gift for anyone who has visited Kyoto during cherry blossom season. A katana that brings the Japanese spring into your home.
