Growth Rune – Wood Element
Growth Rune is a custom Japanese decorative katana inspired by the vitality and renewal of the Wood element. Its natural palette, organic motifs, and smooth visual flow make it a meaningful piece for display or personal collection.
Representing growth, resilience, and steady progression, Growth Rune reflects the upward movement and quiet strength associated with Wood. The blade features a textured surface that symbolizes rooted stability and inner development.
Crafted using traditional Longquan sword-making techniques, the piece undergoes multiple stages of heat treatment to enhance structural balance and durability. The blade is made from 1060 high-manganese steel, offering strength with refined flexibility.
A lacquered solid wood scabbard and wrapped wooden handle reinforce the natural aesthetic, while alloy fittings provide a subtle decorative accent. Designed in classic Japanese katana style, this piece is unsharpened and intended exclusively for decorative and collection purposes.
