This particular katana is based on a graceful shobu zukuri style.

The full tang tsuka is wrapped with a black suede ito in katatemaki style (the so-called "battle wrap" or "one arm" style).
The black saya has a simple stone texture. The habaki displays an elegant rain pattern to add extra interest to the mounts.
