SH2331 -- Tea Culture Katana

In Japan the traditional method of serving tea is a celebrated art form in itself. This
highly ritualized ceremony is an involved process, the most elaborate of which can last
hours and is reserved for the most distinguished of guests. Our Tea Culture Daisho
(SH2331, SH2332) captures the essence of this important tradition. The Katana and
Wakizashi are built upon a traditional Shinogi Zukuri style blade with Bo-Hi.

The high-carbon blade is hand forged and differentially hardened using the traditional
clay method. The Koshirae (furniture) feature the typical elements present in a Japanese
tea ceremony. The handle is wrapped with suede leather in a Katati Make (battle wrap) style.
