Description
In Japanese mythology there is a story of a koi. Who, where all others had given up, persevered swimming up a waterfall. As a reward this koi was turned into a dragon by the gods. This legend is seen as a symbol of perseverance, strength, and transformation, a popular theme in Japanese art and culture.
The “hamon” on a traditional katana, is an intricate and unique pattern of the blade. This process of selective clay coating, “clay tempering” and quenching separates the harder edge from the softer spine. The beauty of the hamon lies not only in its visual appeal but also in its functionality, strengthening the blade and increasing its cutting ability. The hamon is a testament to the skill and artistry of the swordsmith and is highly valued by collectors and martial artists alike.
