The matching menuki; makiryu (dragon,) antique in finishing, rests on white ray skin, below three choices of 100% cotton tsuka-ito - black, brown or uguisu (light green).

The iaito's fuchi/kashira features a Takashio high tide wave relief in bright silver.

Saya choices include - kuroro (glossy black), kuro-ishime (matte black) or cha-ishime (matte brown,) all of which include hitodome. One may select from suguha or doran (signature hamon) patterns on the toshin.

Sand-cast Flex Resistant Zinc Aluminum Alloy Blade

Sand-casted blades are among the most widely used blades in Iaito. At approximately 800g, the sand-casted blade is very well balanced, with the balance point being near the tsuba as opposed to it being near the tip of the iaito.
