Forged from folded steel in traditional Maru-zukuri construction, the blade reveals a subtle jihada beneath its surface—an expression of repeated folding and careful refinement that lends the steel remarkable depth and a living, organic character. The overall form remains graceful and balanced, embodying both strength and sophistication in equal measure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade is clay tempered, displaying a genuine \u003cstrong\u003eNotare Wave Hamon\u003c\/strong\u003e that moves along the cutting edge like rolling ocean swells. The gentle undulations of the hamon create a sense of calm rhythm and natural movement, while the delicate jihada produced by the folded-steel construction harmonizes beautifully with the temper line, together expressing the enduring artistry of traditional Japanese swordsmithing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe koshirae is centered around a \u003cstrong\u003ebrass tsuba featuring a tiger motif\u003c\/strong\u003e, a symbol of courage, authority, and unyielding spirit in East Asian tradition. The \u003cstrong\u003efuchi and kashira\u003c\/strong\u003e, crafted from white copper and decorated with a Jūji Kikkō (Crossed Tortoiseshell) pattern, introduce an element of geometric refinement and auspicious symbolism, representing longevity, resilience, and enduring prosperity. A brass habaki secures the blade firmly, creating a seamless transition between the polished steel and the warm tones of the mounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tsuka features \u003cstrong\u003ewine-red cotton ito\u003c\/strong\u003e wrapped over genuine samegawa, producing a rich and dignified contrast that evokes both passion and restraint. The saya is finished in a \u003cstrong\u003eGloss Black Lacquer\u003c\/strong\u003e, its deep reflective surface lending the sword a sense of quiet authority and timeless elegance. A \u003cstrong\u003eblack sageo\u003c\/strong\u003e completes the mounting, reinforcing the cohesive and disciplined character of the overall design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMasamune\u003c\/strong\u003e is not merely a display piece—it is an expression of refinement, balance, and enduring craftsmanship. With its genuine Notare hamon, symbolic fittings, and harmonious combination of deep black and rich crimson tones, it embodies both serenity and strength, crafted for practitioners and collectors who appreciate traditional artistry, meaningful symbolism, and an elegant yet commanding presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1846\" data-end=\"2103\"\u003eSwords holder or stand sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSword Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"height: 452.3px;\" width=\"579\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 39.2016px;\" data-end=\"384\" data-start=\"280\" height=\"20\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 232.862px;
