● Side Important Note: Regarding the Kashira and Menuki ornaments, please do NOT place them upside-down
when the sword is undrawn (one of previous swords that I ordered from MAS Budoken, my Sensei pointed my
sword that its Dragon Kashira’s face was downward and both Menukis were upside-down when the blade was
undrawn, resting on my waist. For such a reason, my sword’s Tsuka had to be rewrapped and repositioned
Kashira & Menuki).
