Koshirae of the Black and White Tachi
The koshirae, or fittings, of the Black and White Tachi are meticulously crafted to enhance both the sword's functionality and aesthetic appeal. The tsuba (guard) features intricate floral designs, adding a touch of elegance and nobility. The guard not only protects the wielder’s hand but also enhances the sword’s overall visual impact.
The handle (tsuka) is wrapped in a traditional black silk cord with white ray skin, creating a striking contrast that highlights the tachi's dual color scheme. The detailed menuki (ornaments under the wrap) and the fuchi-kashira (pommel and collar) are crafted with precision, adding subtle elegance to the sword. The saya (scabbard) is finished in a glossy black lacquer, providing a sleek and sophisticated look that complements the blade and handle. The sageo (cord) is also black, maintaining the sword’s overall monochromatic aesthetic.

How the Black and White Tachi is forged
This iconic Japanese sword is traditionally forged using a meticulous and time-intensive process. The blade is typically made from a combination of iron sands and charcoal that has been smelted in a traditional furnace. The steel is then repeatedly heated, folded, and hammered to remove impurities and create a strong, durable blade with a sharp edge.
The resulting sword is not only a functional weapon, but also a work of art that embodies the rich cultural history of Japan.
