Tea Culture Wakizashi

**NO LONGER AVAILABLE**In Japan the traditional method of serving tea is a celebrated art form in itself. This highly ritualized ceremony is an involved process . the most elaborate of which can last hours and is reserved for the most distinguished of guests. Our Tea Culture Daisho (SH2331 . SH2332) captures the essence of this important tradition. The Wakizashi is built upon a traditional Shinogi Zukuri style blade with Bo-Hi. The high-carbon blade is hand forged and differentially hardened using the traditional clay method. The Koshirae (furniture) feature the typical elements present in a Japanese tea ceremony. The handle is wrapped with suede leather in a Katati Make (battle wrap) style.
