Bamboo Katana or ZAZA
Zaza means bamboo, which in Japanese tradition signifies growth and purity and is also a symbol of happiness.
This Katana is entirely based on the bamboo plant. The bamboo motif is found on the Tsuba, at the base of the handle, and the Saya scabbard is also decorated with white bamboo leaves.
The blade of the Katana Zaza is semi-hand-forged from carbon steel with a full Bo-hi groove and a beautifully constructed Hamon. All decorations (Tsuba, Fuchi, Menuki, Kashira) are made of metal. . This sword can be used as a tool for light practice or as an attractive decoration.
The Zaza katana has a sharpened blade.
