Shadow Dancer Nova Pink Snow Cherry Blossom Katana 1095 Carbon Steel with Unokubi Zukuri

The embodiment of transience and grace, Shadow Dancer’s Pink Snow Cherry Blossom Katana is a reminder that captures spring’s beauty and resilience.

Forged from 1095 carbon steel, the unokubi zukuri (cormorant’s neck style) blade also features a single bohi (groove). Combined, this design is lighter and has improved point of balance, making the sword quick, agile, and maneuverable. Accentuating the overall aesthetics of the blade is a gunome (wave-like) hamon that mirrors the quiet strength and grace found in nature. 

The fittings on this katana including the maru gata (round) tsuba are adorned with cherry blossom motifs—a symbol of renewal and perseverance. 

One mekugi secures the blade to the wooden core hilt covered in white samegawa wrapped tightly in pace with white artificial silk tsuka ito for a secure and comfortable grip. This elegant piece is completed with a white and pink lacquered scabbard that evokes the gentle cascade of cherry blossoms.   

This katana is part of Shadow Dancer’s Nova Series which blends modern and traditional designs with the brand’s signature precision and balance, perfect for all collectors as a functional or display piece.
