Lotus Seed Katana Rebirth Cycle

Drawing inspiration from the lotus seed's journey of enlightenment, Dragon King's Lotus Seed Daisho set symbolizes rebirth and transition. Its Lotus Seed Katana embodies this cycle, from its violet-shaded cotton ito to the gold and purple sageo on the lacquered says.

The copper seeds accentuate the blackened furniture, while a detailed seed pod, just beginning to sprout, serves as the centerpiece. Splashes of silver from the dragonfly menuki, seppa, and habaki highlight the subtly waisted 12 3/8” tsuka.

The 27 1/2" forged T10 blade showcases an irregular, midare hamon, mirroring life's ups and downs. Light, long, and swift, this 41 1/4" katana delivers quick cuts and makes a bold, yet unpretentious statement. Its design is both physically striking and metaphorically rich, encapsulating the essence of the lotus seed's journey.
