Wakizashi imitation sword For Iaido Maezashi, for appreciation This sword is an imitation, but the hamon (temper line) has a notare (undulating) pattern with a midare (irregular) pattern, and within it, diagonal thread-like lines can be seen, appearing and disappearing depending on the refraction of light. (This is seen in the Bizen Osafune school). Also, it is a well-made sword overall, with no looseness in the tsukamaki (handle wrapping), tsubamoto (guard base), koiguchi (mouth of the scabbard), etc. It has a visually appealing hamon and is suitable for Iaido's maezashi. How about it for Iaido, appreciation, or cosplay?
