The tsuba is a classic hanwei design of oda nobunaga which is often imitated but never truly replicated. The front of the tsuba Bears his likeness and Mon whereas the blade side depicts two soldiers with Yari subduing an enemy. The fuchi is embossed with a gold flintlock and powder bag which pays homage to oda's fondness of tanegashima firearms.
