Kujaku Katana

The Kujaku Katana (孔雀) is a blade of mesmerizing beauty and formidable strength, inspired by the majestic peacock. Named after the Japanese word for peacock, this katana captures the vibrant elegance of this regal bird. Its tsuba features an intricately designed peacock, with feathers unfurled in a display of splendour and grace. Encased in a sleek black scabbard adorned with a water transfer print of a colourful peacock, the Kujaku Katana exudes an air of opulence and mystique. But it's not just its exterior that captivates — the blade itself is forged from full tang hand-forged folded steel, ensuring unrivalled durability and sharpness. With the Kujaku Katana in hand, one commands attention and respect, embodying the grace, beauty, and strength of the majestic peacock.

Peacock is also linked with Buddhism and carries the values of compassion, care and wisdom among many others. Peacocks have religious and auspicious connotations in traditional Japanese art. They are considered to be guardians from disasters as they can consume harmful plants and snakes, thus protecting humans. They are also symbol of wisdom and sometimes associated with fecundity (e.g. large and healthy family).
