Otomo Katana – A Blade Inspired by Samurai Tradition
The Otomo Katana pays tribute to the Otomo family, one of the most influential clans of Japan’s Sengoku era. Known for their connections with trade, culture, and the early introduction of Western influences, the Otomo stood as both warriors and innovators. This katana reflects that spirit of refinement and strength, blending tradition with distinctive style.
Crafted for high performance, the Otomo Katana features a maru kitae blade with bohi, forged from 1095 high carbon steel. Clay tempered for resilience, it displays a beautiful and highly visible togari-gunome hamon, hand-polished to highlight its depth and authenticity. Fully functional and full tang, it is perfectly suited for martial arts such as Tameshigiri, Kenjutsu, Battodo, and Ninjutsu, while also making an extraordinary collector’s piece.
