Sharp wooden katana with scabbard (saya 鞘), supplied with protective cloth cover (deluxe version: in composite wood case with varnished wood stand with protections and maintenance kit)

I was born in a forge.
Man came to find me in the heart of the earth to transform me, to magnify me, to make me the supple, light, lively blade I am today. I accepted the bite of fire, the power of the hammer, the coldness of water. Don't think this has weakened me; on the contrary, it's given me strength.
In my quest for balance, I chose to ally myself with natural wood, a symbol of growth, youth and creation.
I grew up in the heart of the earth, it grew far above me, but its roots had already forged a bond with me long before. And now we're together, perfectly matched, combining youth and suppleness, movement and flexibility... wood and metal elements.

"Le Sabre et le Pinceau: Poèmes du Japon ancien", Master Akeji

Visit wakawhose haiku is the most authentically Japanese of poetic forms, providing a framework for expression that is at once poetic, spiritual and popular. Even today, at New Year's, everyone from the imperial family to schoolchildren tries their hand at this delicate art. The Sword and the Brush brings together poems drawn from the great imperial anthologies of the VIIIᵗʰ, Xᵗʰ and XIIIᵗʰ centuries, votive bills from Shintō temples and the teachings of martial arts masters. Master Akeji is part of this spiritual filiation - budō - where combat and weapons trace a path to inner peace. An accomplished master, he confronts his mind and his brush with the virgin, promising space of his handmade papers, in search of a profound harmony of the island traditions that are embodied in the artist.

Maintenance kit

Maintenance of a sword or saber is necessary to prevent oxidation (rust). Old oil must be removed and replaced by a film of new oil. The maintenance kit is composed of several elements:
Microfiber cloth: for cleaning, spreading oil and polishing the blade.
Uchiko: a ball of finely ground chalk (chalk powder) wrapped in a ball of cloth. Intended for cleaning the blade's surface, the powder passes through the wrapping when tapped, allowing it to be sprinkled over the blade's steel.
Oil: applied as a thin film, it protects against oxidation.
Mukugi(x 2): pins (bamboo dowels 目釘) that hold the blade and handle (tsuka 柄) together.
Pin driver (Mekugi Nuki): Small brass hammer with a screwed-in pin for removing mekugi.
Maintenance does not require disassembly, but if you need to remove the handle (tsuka 柄), replace the pins.

Figure 1: Cleaning the blade with a microfiber cloth

Figure 2: Tapping the Uchiko on the blade to deposit limestone powder

Handle with care to avoid injury.
1/ Use the microfiber cloth to remove oil from the blade. From the guard (Tsuba 鍔) to the tip (Kissaki 切先), slide the cleaning cloth over the back of the blade (Mune 棟), folding it in half to wrap both sides of the blade.
Lightly squeeze the cloth between thumb and forefinger to surround the blade from above (first illustration).
2/ Once the old oil has been removed, use the uchiko to lightly tap along the blade (second illustration).
3/ Use the cloth to lightly polish the blade and remove the powder, in the same direction as the first step (first illustration).
4/ Apply the oil along each side of the blade with the sprayer (or a very soft brush). The oil should be spread thinly and evenly, without excess (first illustration).
Be sure not to touch the blade before replacing it in its sheath (saya 鞘).
Clean the microfiber cloth with soapy water.
