Genno with Dragon Engraving

Dragons are considered the oldest and most powerful mythical creatures in Japan and often revered as a talisman and the symbol of imperial power. The head of this hammer is the combination of the work of a Japanese master blacksmith and an experienced engraver. After the blacksmith has forged the blank in the fire and then selectively hardened it, the engraver engraves the matt finish, impact-absorbing middle part on one side with hammer and graver. In order to achieve a vivid effect, the Ryu (dragon) engraving is gone over several times until reaching its final depth. A handle made of Japanese red oak complements this exceptional hammer. Flat and curved faces. Each hammer head bears the signature of the master blacksmith. Comes with red cotton pouch. The handle is pre-mounted and must be wedged into the head by the user according to Japanese tradition. Instructions included.
