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 gives the steel remarkable depth and an organic, living character. The overall form remains balanced and graceful, embodying both restraint and quiet confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade is clay tempered, displaying a genuine \u003cstrong\u003eNotare Wave Hamon\u003c\/strong\u003e that flows along the cutting edge like gentle swells upon the ocean. The natural undulations of the temper line bring a sense of rhythm and movement to the blade, while the delicate jihada created 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\u003ebrass tsuba featuring an ocean wave motif\u003c\/strong\u003e, its swirling patterns evoking the boundless energy and ever-changing nature of the sea. The \u003cstrong\u003efuchi and kashira\u003c\/strong\u003e, crafted from white copper and adorned with matching wave motifs, continue this maritime theme, symbolizing perseverance, adaptability, and the enduring strength found in nature. A brass habaki secures the blade firmly, adding a subtle warmth that complements the darker tones of the mounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tsuka features \u003cstrong\u003eblack cotton ito\u003c\/strong\u003e wrapped over genuine samegawa, creating a timeless and understated contrast that emphasizes both practicality and dignity. The saya is finished in a \u003cstrong\u003eBrown Ishime lacquer\u003c\/strong\u003e, its stone-textured surface recalling weathered earth and driftwood shaped by time and tide, lending the sword a grounded and contemplative presence. A \u003cstrong\u003ebrown sageo\u003c\/strong\u003e completes the mounting, introducing a natural warmth that harmonizes beautifully with the earthy tones of the saya and fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYoshihiro\u003c\/strong\u003e is not merely a display piece—it is an expression of serenity, resilience, and enduring craftsmanship. With its genuine Notare hamon, harmonious wave motifs, and warm, natural color palette, it embodies both the calm and power of the sea, crafted for practitioners and collectors who appreciate traditional artistry, meaningful symbolism, and a refined yet commanding presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2103\" data-start=\"1846\"\u003eSwords holder or stand sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSword Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"579\" style=\"height: 452.3px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"20\" data-start=\"280\" data-end=\"384\" style=\"height: 39.2016px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"20\" class=\"xl66\" width=\"242\" data-start=\"280\" data-end=\"305\" data-col-size=\"sm\" style=\"width: 232.862px;
