Katana "Shokubutsu" (植物 plant, vegetable) black, Maru 1060 #Terressens

Katana "Shokubutsu" (植物 plant, vegetable) black, Maru 1060

Sharp katana with varnished wooden scabbard, black ito (柄糸) and sageo (下緒), supplied with protective cloth cover.


My master's sword-fighting technique was inspired by nature, and more specifically by vegetation. Of course, the cherry blossom, the quintessential samurai symbol representing the fragility of existence, the cycle of life and the joy of rebirth, was one of his sources of inspiration, but not the only one. Flora and forest were his favorite places. He knew how to sneak in, hide and leap out to surprise his enemies. That's why my frame features several references to plants, starting with my tsuba (鍔 guard), delicately openworked, with several gold and silver elements.

"Les chroniques de l'érable et du cerisier" (1/2), Camille Monceaux
An abandoned child, Ichirô is raised like a son by a mysterious samurai who teaches him the way of the sword.
Secluded in the mountains, in the heart of the wilderness, he grows up with the rhythm of the seasons, between a blissful carefreeness and an apprenticeship that demands perseverance and courage.
But one terrible night, Ichirô's life is turned upside down. He must turn his back on his childhood to face the world and his destiny.
Sublime heroes, friendships and betrayals, passion and revenge... Le Masque de nô is the start of a dazzling epic in 17th-century Japan, and the revelation of Camille Monceaux's talent.
