"Saruta-hiko" (猿田彦), iaïto (iaitō, unsharpened training katana), 3 blade lengths

Training Katana, unsharpened Maru 1045 steel blade, rounded tip, three blade lengths: 65.5, 68.5 and 70.5 cm


I'm named after a kami (神), a Shinto deity, but not just any kami. He is the ruler of the earthly kami and guardian of the sky bridge, linking heaven and earth. He is also the patron saint of certain martial arts, including aikido. His full name is Sarutahiko no Ōkami (猿田毘古大神). His cult is dedicated to the Tsubaki Ōkami-yashiro temple (椿大神社), in the city of Suzuka, Mie prefecture.

I was made for training, halfway between the wooden sword (the bokken) and the katana, whose sharpened blade is reserved for experienced practitioners. My tsuba is easy to draw and my blade gives the same feel as a traditional sword, while limiting the risks. I'll accompany you on the martial path where practice is an art, a way of life and an ethic.

"Spirits & Creatures of Japan, Lafcadio Hearn


With this work, Benjamin Lacombe turns his attention to nature and the animal figure. After plunging to the bottom of the sea, we emerge at the surface, where we explore the roots, the earth and the mammals, before reaching the sky and the birds. In Japan, this subject is synonymous with mystery and respect. As with the first opus, the graphic treatment is adapted to each story.
