Each piece in the
Tiger group has a deeply lacquered
black saya, with inlaid brass bamboo leaves. The tsuba of the Katana and
Wakizashi is of blackened iron, with a tiger inlaid in brass. The habaki is of one-piece brass construction. High quality ray skin is
used on the tsuka, and the tsuka-ito and the sageo on all three pieces are woven
from Japanese cotton.
The
fuch, kashira, kojiri, koiguch and kurigata are of blackened bronzed iron,
selectively detailed in gold. The blades of all three pieces are grooved
on both sides, with a short kissaki on the Katana and Wakizashi
