Katana Midori no yoru 緑の夜

Midori no yoru means green night — and the saya tells that story directly, painted a deep green that bleeds down into black like dusk falling over a forest. It is the most visually distinctive katana in the mid-range, and the Damascus blade beneath the wrap matches the drama with its own grain.

Forging & Steel

The gray blade is folded Damascus steel, welded through many layers so the carbon flows into that signature water-grain pattern. It is sharpened for real cutting practice and yet finished to sit well in a traditional Japanese interior — the sword wears both roles honestly, the folded grain reading as plainly on the rack as it does on the cut.

Mount & Fittings

A sculpted solid-brass tsuba anchors the build and carries the weight of the blade in balance, while the two-tone sageo picks up the green-into-black theme and carries it down the cord. The handle is wrapped in shagreen-imitation leather over solid wood, a grip dressed to match the scabbard rather than fight it. Every part of the mount is tuned to one idea — the falling of green into night — so the Midori no yoru holds together as a single image from kashira to kojiri.

Usage

The Midori no yoru is positioned as both a martial-arts training tool you can practice cutting with and a decorative piece — a sharpened Damascus blade that holds its own on the mat and on the wall. Compare the folded grain against the Katana Hebi or the top-tier Katana Tatsu, and see the rest of the katana collection.
