Toyotomi Katana – Honoring the Legacy of a Samurai Leader

The Toyotomi Katana is more than just a sword – it is a tribute to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, one of Japan’s most iconic figures. Known as the “Great Unifier of Japan” during the late Sengoku period, Hideyoshi transformed from a humble ashigaru foot soldier into one of the most powerful daimyo in history. This katana captures that same spirit of resilience, ambition, and mastery, designed for those who seek excellence in both martial practice and collection.

A Blade Forged for Performance

Crafted from T10 high carbon steel, the Toyotomi Katana is clay tempered to produce an authentic Midare hamon – irregular and vibrant, reminiscent of the turbulence and victories of Japan’s warring states era. Each blade is carefully hand-polished, bringing out the depth and brightness of the hamon, while ensuring durability and sharpness for demanding use.

• Steel: T10 high carbon steel, clay tempered.
• Hamon: Midare style, real and highly visible.
• Blade construction: Maru kitae, full tang, battle ready.
• Polish: High-grade traditional hand polish.
• Bohi: Absent, enhancing stability and cutting power.

Koshirae – Tradition Meets Elegance

The mountings of the Toyotomi Katana reflect understated elegance, highlighting craftsmanship and functionality. The tsuka is wrapped in light blue Japanese cotton ito in hinerimaki style, with hishigami for extra grip and long-term durability. Beneath lies genuine black ray skin, ensuring a solid hold. The tsuba features a traditional wave motif, symbolizing resilience and the constant flow of life, while the fuchi/kashira are made in Higo style, offering a refined balance between strength and beauty.

A Saya Worthy of Its Blade
