Tomoe Katana – A Sharp Blade with Samurai Symbolism

The Tomoe Katana is more than a high-level sword: it is a tribute to one of Japan’s most recognisable emblems, the Tomoe. Associated with the cycles of life, strength, and cosmic balance, the Tomoe motif has long been present in Japanese culture. Samurai clans such as the Uesugi and Ryūzōji proudly carried this symbol on their banners and armour, embodying both spiritual protection and martial power.

Forged with expert craftsmanship, the Tomoe Katana features a maru kitae blade with bohi, made of 1095 high carbon steel. Clay tempered and hand polished, it reveals a vivid and authentic gunome-midare hamon, highly visible and elegant. Fully functional and full tang, this shinken is designed for demanding practice like Tameshigiri, Battodo, and Kenjutsu, while also serving as an extraordinary collector’s piece.
