Reikazan WakizashiDiscover the Reikazan (冷火山) wakizashi sword, the perfect embodiment of the contrast between ice and fire. Its manganese steel blade reveals a deep blue hue reminiscent of eternal glaciers, while its undulating hamon evokes the dancing flames of a dormant volcano. The finely chiseled silver and gold crossguard harmoniously complements the solid wood handle adorned with blue stingray skin, creating a work of art that captures the very essence of its poetic name. Sword: design and finishes
The name Reikazan, which literally means “Frozen Volcano” in Japanese, evokes the fascinating duality between fire and ice. This name perfectly captures the essence of this exceptional wakizashi, where the warrior’s burning passion meets the icy serenity of martial discipline. The kanji characters 冷火山 symbolize this harmony of opposites, reminding us that true strength comes from the balance between burning emotion and absolute control.
The manganese steel blade boasts a magnificent blue hue reminiscent of the cold flames of a dormant volcano, while the visible hamon traces undulating lines along the cutting edge. The cross-shaped tsuba, finely chiseled in silver and gold tones, contrasts elegantly with this azure blade. The solid wood handle, covered in blue faux stingray skin, offers a secure and comfortable grip, reinforced by the black diamond-patterned braiding of the tsuka-ito. The menuki depicting silver dragons add a mystical dimension to the whole, while the fuchi and kashira matching the tsuba maintain visual harmony. The solid wood scabbard, lacquered in a black and blue gradient, completes this icy aesthetic with its two-tone sageo.
