Enryū katana sword: design and finishes

The Enryū katana sword evokes the mystical power of the fire dragon, a legendary creature that symbolizes the destructive and regenerative force of flames. In Japanese tradition, the fire dragon represents spiritual transformation and mastery of the elements, essential qualities of the accomplished warrior. This name conceals a profound message: whoever wields this blade must learn to control their own inner flame in order to achieve perfect harmony between power and wisdom.

Its Damascus steel blade reveals its characteristic undulating patterns reminiscent of dancing flames, while the bo-hi lightens the overall design and produces a distinctive whistling sound when moved. The circular guard (tsuba) in gold alloy features a coiled dragon biting its tail, a symbol of eternity and perpetual cycle, beautifully chiseled into the precious metal. The handle (tsuka) combines traditional black imitation stingray skin with blue diamond-patterned braiding (tsuka-ito) that provides a firm and elegant grip. The gold menuki represent miniature dragons, while the fuchi and kashira feature flame motifs carved into the gold alloy. The black lacquered wooden scabbard (saya) is adorned with delicate white motifs, contrasted by black ends and complemented by a blue and white sageo.
