Tsuchi no Ibuki Katana Sword: design and finishes

The name Tsuchi no Ibuki evokes the deep connection between the craftsman and the earth that nourishes him. In Japanese tradition, “tsuchi” (土) represents not only the earth element but also stability, patience, and the quiet strength that comes from being rooted. The “breath” (息吹, ibuki) symbolizes the life that the craftsman breathes into raw steel, transforming inert material into a living blade. This name thus reveals the very essence of forging: the harmonious union between the earth element and the creative spirit of man.

The manganese steel blade reveals a genuine notare hamon, the result of meticulous differential tempering that creates natural undulations along the cutting edge. This ancient technique gives the steel remarkable properties, combining flexibility in the spine with hardness in the edge. The black alloy butterfly guard (tsuba) features delicate cutouts reminiscent of outstretched wings, while its hollow finish adds lightness and elegance. The handle (tsuka) harmoniously combines white imitation stingray skin with fine wood, adorned with sand-colored braiding (tsuka-ito) arranged in diamond patterns. The menuki represent a black dragon, a symbol of power and wisdom, while the metal elements (fuchi, kashira, habaki) in smooth black alloy create a refined visual continuity. The brown and black lacquered wooden scabbard (saya) evokes earthy tones, complemented by a brown sageo that recalls the links with nature.
