KATANA

水月丸 You can find a wider world by looking into your own country's culture. Japanese sword is not only the weapon that can protect yourself, but also the mirror to reflect your spirit. The tranquility is hiding in the rage. And I forge swords with a picture of combination between dynamic and static in my mind. Length 81.8cm / Curvature 2.7cm
