Takeshi Saji Japanese traditional Makie-Art series feature Diamond-finished SG2(R2) Damascus-patterned blades, and Colored Damascus Blue Paper (Aogami) high-carbon steel. 

On the beautifully Japanese lacquered (Urushi-nuri) saya sheath and handle, the traditional decorative Maki-e artwork is carefully hand-drawn by Master Kouichiro Tsukada.



The collaboration by the master blacksmith Takeshi Saji and the Maki-e master Kouichiro Tsukada is very unique to bring the masterpiece into creation successfully.
Please be noted that the stock of these Makie series is quite popular and extremely limited in stock.
