Description
A traditional Japanese surface colored copper alloy made since the 15th century. Shakudo contains Copper (75-98%) and Gold (2-25%, but most commonly 3-5%). Traces of other metals (Silver, Arsenic, Tin, Lead, Antimony, or Iron) may also be present. Shakudo is used for jewelry, tsubas, and sword decoration. Various patination formulas are used to produce a range of colors. The most common is a blue-black.
