“Mitsudomoe Katana 1050 Folded Series” Mitsudomoe was created from three joined tomoe, a popular symbol in Japan. Some view the mitsudomoe as representative of the threefold division (Man, Earth, and Sky) at the heart of the Shinto religion. Originally, it was associated with the Shinto war deity Hachiman, and through that was adopted by the samurai as their traditional symbol. Some notable figures who used the mitsudomoe as their crest were: • Yamamoto Kansuke (one of the Twenty-Four Generals of Takeda Shingen) • Bessho Nagaharu (Japanese daimyo of the Sengoku period) The folded steel blade of our Mitsudomoe Katana has been folded to produce 2,800 layers. In terms of overall quality and finish, a folded steel blade is on the same level as their forged mono-steel brothers and sisters. It doesn’t make the blade any sharper or tougher. It’s only difference is that the steel has been folded resulting in a blade with a nice “hada” (grain in steel, pattern of folding the steel) and is of course much more attractive to the eye compared to a mono-steel blade and gives a more traditional look.
