Yuunagi Katana (T10 Steel with Genuine Hamon)

The yuunagi is the moment when, at sunset, the day's breezes stop and the night's have not yet begun: a suspension of wind lasting a few minutes, during which the sea and the air are perfectly still. It is one of the most precise terms in the Japanese maritime lexicon. The Yuunagi Katana captures this quality of suspended evening calm.

The T10 steel blade (60-62 HRC hardness, nagasa of roughly 70 cm) bears a genuine wavy hamon that recalls the motionless profile of a sea at sunset, without currents. A mirror polish that captures the colors of the evening sky.

The mounting adopts the palette of maritime dusk: navy blue ito over light samegawa, a patinated silver tsuba with a flat-horizon-under-setting-sun motif, a saya lacquered in sunset blue with pink-orange undertones, and a copper-colored sageo. Rose-gold habaki.

A piece for those who live in coastal cities, a decorative piece for rooms with a sea view, or a gift for sailors and sport fishermen who know the value of an evening calm. A katana with the stillness of the Pacific at sunset.
