"Fire Dragon" decorative katana

Collector's Katana with red saya (鞘) decorated with a screen-printed dragon, tsuba (鍔) dragon


Born in a forge nestled in the heart of the sacred mountain, my symbol combines fire and dragon. My guard (鍔 Tsuba) and scabbard (鞘 Saya) recall this elemental and fantastic combination. I've become symbolic, after so many battles won against enemies from all walks of life. But like all symbols, my true strength lies in what I represent in the eyes of my master and guardian. Protected by the fire dragon, I rest in peace, waiting to come back to life in the hands of a new swordsman. I have all the time in the world to find him, for in feverish hands, I am but a weapon of destruction that makes no distinction. Yet my vocation is to be just and to protect. I wait...

History & Symbol

Japanese dragons



Dragon fountain, Senso-Ji Buddhist temple, Tokyo, Japan (Photo: Philippe Contal, 2012) In Japanese culture, the dragon (ryū 龍 or tatsu 竜) is a mythical snake-like creature. Unlike Western dragons, it has no wings, but short clawed legs and a head sporting horns or antlers. Unlike Chinese dragons, it has only three toes.

It is associated with the sea, clouds or sky. In Japanese mythology, the first dragon-like creature was Yamata-no-Orochi (ヤマタノオロチ, 八岐の大蛇), a huge, woman-eating creature with 8 heads and 8 tails. He was defeated by the kami (spirit or deity of the Shinto religion 神) Susanoo (Susano-o no Mikoto 素戔嗚命/須佐之男命). The latter had previously intoxicated him with sake (rice alcohol 酒). Cutting off all eight heads one by one, he was able to save Kushinada, who was about to be kidnapped by the dragon.

Dragons are among the main motifs decorating temples in Japan. They symbolize the obstacles human beings must overcome to progress and attain wisdom.

A great birthday present!
I bought a decorative katana with personalized engraving and everything went very quickly! I was contacted the same day to discuss my engraving project, was informed of the whole process by e-mail and received the katana within a few days. I really like the fact that they are very transparent about how their products are made, and that they include as much information as possible on their website (katana care, history, what type of katana to choose, etc.). I'm 100% satisfied! They're passionate about sharing their passion with their customers, and I recommend them!

Excellent!
The project is well managed from start to finish.
The engraving was easy to exchange, the decorative katana was professionally made and delivered very quickly. Everything was perfect. This is my second order (as a gift for my 18 year old son). I really recommend it with my eyes closed and I'll be ordering again!
Thank you for everything.
