The
John Lee Dragon Tokuni Wakizashi is the more refined version of the popular John Lee Dragon Wakizashi and a good complement to the Dragon Tokuni Katana by John Lee (also available from us as a pair of Daisho swords). The tsuba of the wakizashi has been specially refined and dark coloured. The wakizashi's ornamental rims depict the mystical mythical creature and have also been refined. The dragon still plays an important role in Japan today. In contrast to Western mythology, the dragon is a mythical creature that brings good luck.
