The midare hamon (irregular temper line) runs along the blade’s edge, creating a wavy pattern that is both visually appealing and practical for cutting performance. The blade’s curvature of 1.4 cm gives it a slight curve, typical for katanas from this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMountings (Koshirae):\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe katana comes with well-made fittings.
