John Lee Golden Flower Katana
The model of this exceptionally beautiful tsuba was certainly made by a great master, probably in the 18th century. Unfortunately, as they have not signed their work unlike the Bladesmiths, the creators are not known by name. The tsuba, as well as the rest of the decoration, are elaborately decorated with golden cherry blossoms (sakura), one of the most important symbols of Japanese culture. They represent pure beauty, departure and transience.
- Sharpened Damascus blade made of 12-fold 1045 carbon steel with more than 8,000 layers.
