Tombo Katana by John Lee

The dragonfly (Japanese "Tombo") was considered an honorable symbol of the samurai. It symbolized the courage of the warriors and the attitude of never giving up. The worship of the Japanese for this insect, which is considered in Shintoism as the spirit of the rice plant and harbinger of a harvest-rich autumn, is also expressed in many poems. This sword is a real highlight in many ways. Especially the ornamental parts, the differentially hardened blade of the Shobu-Zukuri style and the sheath with Kozuka make this Katana very special.
