Pine Crane Katana Authority Symbol

Drawing upon profound symbolism from Japanese culture, the Pine Crane Daisho Set by Dragon King embodies respect, power, longevity, and wisdom. The red-crown crane, believed to live for a thousand years and regarded as a symbol of unchallenged authority, is paired with the pine tree, believed to host the gods of heaven. This motif extends across both pieces in a harmonious display of earth tones. Exquisite details such as the finely embossed bronzed steel tsuba, fuchi, and kashira, as well as the contrast between the black cotton ito and the white same, contribute to a striking overall effect.

The 27 7/8” forged T10 blade features a prominent hamon and a mirror-finished ji and mune. The 1 1/2” kissaki is designed to pierce quickly and deeply. Despite its length, this katana remains remarkably light, mirroring the elegance of the crane.

The textured brown saya, highlighted by a black and matte striped paint design, secures the majestic power of the sword, accentuated by a charcoal and copper sageo, and buffalo horn korikata and kojiri. This set not only represents artistic mastery but also serves as a functional piece of weaponry.
