Fujiwara Katana Shinken – Shogun Elite Series

The Fujiwara Katana Shinken is part of YariNoHanzo’s most exclusive collection: the Shogun Elite Series, crafted for high-level martial artists and collectors who demand peak performance, traditional craftsmanship, and refined aesthetics.

Legacy of the Fujiwara Clan

This katana is a tribute to the Fujiwara clan—one of Japan’s most powerful aristocratic families, who shaped the country’s cultural and political landscape from the Heian period to the Meiji Restoration. The design honors the clan’s heritage and the philosophy of kyūba-no-michi (the way of the bow and horse), a foundation of the Bushidō code. The arrowhead motif present in the fittings reinforces this martial symbolism.
