The tsuka is built over real white samegawa (rayskin), which provides a slightly raised, pebbly texture that anchors the wrapping securely. Brown and black cord is applied in traditional tsuka-maki style, creating the characteristic diamond-shaped gaps that reveal the white samegawa beneath. The contrast between dark cord and white rayskin gives the handle a visually layered, handcrafted character.

The gold-toned alloy tsuba features engraved linear patterning across its surface, with a scalloped edge silhouette visible from the handle side. A copper-toned habaki collar sits between the tsuba and the blade, providing a clean transition and a warm metallic accent that ties the gold tsuba and brown cord together.

The black hardwood saya is finished with a smooth natural lacquer coat, producing a deep matte-black surface. Dark brown sageo cord is wrapped around the saya body and tied in a traditional knot at the kurikata, with a small oval bead accent in gold tone adding a refined finishing detail.
