Wakizashi Kiyowara (清原脇差) – The Blade of Pure Simplicity
Stripped of ornamentation and driven by function, the Wakizashi Kiyowara is a blade that embodies the zen-like elegance of traditional Japanese sword-making. Forged from resilient manganese steel, the blade has a smooth grey finish and subtle curvature — perfect for martial arts, minimalist display, or cutting practice.
Without a tsuba (guard), this wakizashi adopts a shirasaya-style mounting, using natural shiraki wood (unfinished magnolia) for both the tsuka (handle) and saya (scabbard). This gives it a lightweight and balanced feel while allowing the steel to speak for itself.
Whether you’re a practitioner of Iaido, a collector of traditional nihonto styles, or a lover of minimalist design, this piece captures the raw essence of the samurai blade.
