The hada is itame with some mokume. A gorgeous sword in hand mounted to enjoy.

 

The koshirae is ensuite with a matching dragon theme. The tsuba is of dragons in the nanbamtetsu style. A beautiful gold washed striated habaki with matching dragon themed fuchi/kashira. Large gold washed dragon menuki on old same with dark blue ito wrapping. The saya is a brilliant red finished in a stone texture lacquer. There is a dark blue Sageo to match the wrap.

 

A Great sized sword just under Katana length fully dressed!  This would be a great sword to submit to shinsa some day.
