Mikikajiya-Mura brand Kuri-knife “Sakura” w/ lacquer coated sheath
Cherry blossom design
An original product produced by Miki Kajiyamura. The sheath is decorated by utilizing a technique called byakudan. The basic design is applied to the sheath with maki-e (Japanese lacquer sprinkled with gold), and later gets coated with another layer of lacquer to bring out the design. Over time, the lacquer will increase its transparency and display an elegant beauty. The blade is made from multi-layered Yasuki blue steel #2 that has been folded into 10 layers. The refined cutting edge and beautiful lacquer finish will bring true joy to its user.
