Each piece in the Great wave Series is stylized with the renowned Tomoe motif. The tsuba, fuchi, and kashira are made of black iron and marked with the Tomoe crest (mon). The blades are hand-forged from T10 high-carbon steel and are differentially tempered using traditional claying methods. The temper line (hamon) is evident and prominent. Each piece has a deeply lacquered black saya with a one-piece brass habaki construction. Real ray skin (same) is used on the tsuka, and the tsuka-ito and sageo are made of premium woven Japanese black cotton. The wakizashi is constructed with a large o-kissaki and is ideal for cutting exercises (tameshigiri).
