Tea Culture Katana (茶道刀)
In Japan the traditional method of serving tea is a celebrated art form in
itself. This highly ritualized ceremony is an involved process, the most
elaborate of which can last hours and is reserved for the most distinguished of
guests. The Tea Culture Daisho captures the essence of this important tradition.
The Katana and Wakizashi are built upon a traditional Shinogi Zukuri style blade
with Bo-Hi. The high-carbon blade is hand forged and differentially hardened
using the traditional clay method. The Koshirae (furniture) feature the typical
elements present in a Japanese tea ceremony. The handle is wrapped with suede
leather in a Katati Make (battle wrap) style.
