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 both depth and vitality. The overall form remains balanced and purposeful, embodying the quiet confidence and enduring strength associated with the warrior's path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade is clay tempered, displaying a genuine \u003cstrong\u003eNotare Wave Hamon\u003c\/strong\u003e that flows gracefully along the cutting edge like rolling waves beneath a calm sky. The undulating temper line brings a sense of movement and natural rhythm to the blade, while the delicate jihada produced through the folded-steel construction harmonizes beautifully with the hamon, together expressing the timeless artistry of traditional Japanese swordsmithing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe koshirae is centered around a \u003cstrong\u003edragon motif Kiku-gata brass tsuba\u003c\/strong\u003e, combining the imperial elegance of the chrysanthemum with the power and majesty of the dragon. Symbolizing nobility, courage, and divine protection, the design lends the sword a dignified yet formidable character. The \u003cstrong\u003eSakura Ishime fuchi and kashira\u003c\/strong\u003e, crafted from white copper, introduce a gentle seasonal contrast through delicately sculpted cherry blossoms and a finely textured stone finish. A brass habaki secures the blade firmly, complementing the warm tones of the mounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tsuka features \u003cstrong\u003ebrown cotton ito\u003c\/strong\u003e wrapped over genuine samegawa, creating a natural and understated appearance that evokes stability, maturity, and quiet strength. The saya is finished in a \u003cstrong\u003eRed Ishime lacquer\u003c\/strong\u003e, its richly textured surface radiating warmth and vitality while recalling the lacquered armor and martial banners of Japan's warrior tradition. A \u003cstrong\u003egolden sageo\u003c\/strong\u003e completes the mounting, adding a touch of elegance and auspicious contrast to the bold red and dark fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTadakatsu\u003c\/strong\u003e is not merely a display piece—it is an expression of courage, honor, and enduring spirit. With its genuine Notare hamon, symbolic dragon and chrysanthemum motifs, and striking combination of crimson and gold, it embodies both martial power and refined beauty, crafted for practitioners and collectors who appreciate traditional craftsmanship, meaningful symbolism, and a commanding yet elegant 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;
