Blade Features:

The blade is forged in the shinogi-zukuri style, a traditional Japanese sword shape characterized by a prominent ridge line. The straight temper line (suguha) adds to the blade's minimalist elegance, while the iori-mune (roof-shaped back) enhances its structural integrity. The steel surface (hada) features an itame-hada pattern, resembling fine wood grains, which is a hallmark of superior craftsmanship.

Mountings (Koshirae):

The koshirae is adorned with fittings that complement the blade’s aesthetic. The fuchi and kashira (collar and pommel) are crafted from silver with a wave-themed design (gin-nami), symbolizing the fluidity and power of water. The handle (tsuka) is wrapped in a sleek black leather (kuro-gawa), providing both comfort and a secure grip, making this katana not only a work of art but also a functional weapon.

This katana, with its exquisite details and traditional features, is a perfect embodiment of the art and discipline of Japanese swordsmithing.
