侍 #Terressens | Samurai & Katanas | Sakura, sharpened wakizashi (桜 cherry blossom) 刀

Sakura, sharpened wakizashi (桜 cherry blossom)

Black Wakizashi (short sword) with scabbard (saya 鞘) and Kozuka (小柄 knife), cherry blossom and dragon decorations, supplied with protective fabric cover

As the saying goes, "The most beautiful flower is the cherry blossom, the best man is the warrior" (花は桜木人は武士). It was in this spirit that the master blacksmith gave birth to me. My tsuba (鍔) is decorated with cherry blossoms while my Kozuka (小柄), the knife housed in my scabbard (小柄 saya) bears a dragon. The cherry blossom (桜 Sakura) is a symbol of purity, beauty and happiness. It represents the realization of the samurai's martial priesthood. She is the image of ideal death, borrowed from Zen Buddhism, detached from the goods of this world, and the precariousness of life. The dragon embodies strength, power and unpredictability. It brings happiness, wealth and success. It symbolizes wisdom, perseverance and immortality.
Will you be able to follow the path of the last samurai I served, accompanied by my "big brother" , the Sakura katana?

"Le Sabre et la Fleur de Cerisier", Sylvia Raffin

Medieval Japan, Edo period.
Ryôji Sawada is a ronin, a wandering samurai. When he hears of a beautiful courtesan, he travels to Yoshiwara, the pleasure district of ancient Tokyo. There he meets the young woman, named Kazumi Matsuyama, a prisoner of her ungrateful situation and under the sway of a tyrannical, violent boss. Thus begins a story of sincere love, hindered by jealousy, greed and the desire for revenge...

Protective oil, micro-fiber, chalk ball (Uchiko), pin remover (Mekugi Nuki) and pins (Mekugi), delivered in a wooden box | I have the privilege of maintaining the katanas of the best samurai. I maintain the blade to protect it from oxidation. Unalloyed steel (without additives such as chromium and molybdenum) is prone to rust. An alloy of iron and carbon, steel is weakened by the presence of oxygen. Air can therefore attack it, which is why my oil helps protect the surface of this noble metal.
