Seimei no Inazuma katana sword: design and finishes

The Seimei no Inazuma (生命の稲妻) katana sword evokes the vital power that flashes through existence like lightning. This name symbolizes the creative energy that animates all forms of life, from the first spark to spiritual fulfillment. In Japanese tradition, inazuma represents the divine manifestation of natural force, while seimei embodies the very essence of existence. This katana captures this profound philosophy and unites celestial lightning with terrestrial energy in perfect harmony.

Its black T10 steel blade is adorned with a magnificent lightning bolt, while its polished surface reveals subtle reflections reminiscent of electric flashes. The round silver alloy tsuba features a precisely engraved tripod of life, an ancient symbol of the balance between the three fundamental forces of the universe. The handle combines black faux stingray skin with traditional wood, covered with black tsuka-ito braiding with diamond patterns reminiscent of dragon scales. The menuki represent black dragons, mythical guardians of wisdom and transformation. The brown leather scabbard adds a touch of earthly elegance, complemented by the matching sageo that facilitates traditional carrying.
