Tanto Hanatsuki (花月短刀) – The Moonlit Blossom Blade
Elegant, refined, and artfully forged, the Tanto Hanatsuki is a short sword that pays tribute to both nature and tradition. Its 1060 carbon steel blade features a bo-hi (fuller) for weight reduction and a smooth, flowing balance—ideal for kata, collection, or ceremonial display.
The solid wood saya (scabbard) is hand-painted with delicate floral motifs, combining red and black lacquer with soft blooming sakura patterns, representing transience and beauty. The handle (tsuka) is wrapped in a deep green cotton ito, offering both comfort and a visual contrast to the vivid saya. The finely sculpted iron tsuba adds classical structure and protection to this stunning piece.
