best quality Japanese silk.

The Tsuba of
the Katana and Wakizashi, depicting the Kami, or Guardian Warriors, are made

and gold detailing. The Habaki is of two-piece construction, the inner section
being copper and the outer section gold-plated brass. The blades are engraved,
at the Habaki, with a hand-engraved "Fudo" horomono, a traditional blade carving
from the Edo period. The blades of all three pieces are grooved on both sides,
and each piece features a long Kissaki.
