1 / Blade — Tōshin

Blade — Tōshin

Blade — tōshin · visible assembly · visible

Tōshin refers to the steel blade itself. In this view, the exposed blade runs from immediately in front of the habaki to the kissaki; the concealed tang is identified separately as nakago.

Source boundary: Do not use nagasa as the Japanese name for the blade, and do not infer the concealed tang or internal construction from this exterior view.

2 / Kissaki

Kissaki

Blade point or tip · visible feature · usually visible

The kissaki is the point section at the end of the blade. Its outline is easiest to compare in a clear side view, while the transition into the tip may require a close-up.

Source boundary: Do not infer polish quality or geometry from a distant photograph.

3 / Yokote

Yokote

Line separating the point section · visible feature · model dependent

The yokote is the line that separates the kissaki from the main body of many shinogi-zukuri blades. Some blade geometries do not show a distinct yokote.

Source boundary: Do not present the feature as universal.

4 / Ha

Ha

Cutting-edge side · visible feature · visible

The ha is the cutting-edge side of the blade. A photograph can identify its location, but sharpness and edge condition must be confirmed from the specific product information.

Source boundary: Never infer sharpness or cutting readiness from the diagram.

5 / Mune

Mune

Back or spine of the blade · visible feature · visible

The mune is the back or spine of the blade opposite the cutting edge. It helps readers orient the blade in side-view and cross-section diagrams.

Source boundary: The image does not prove spine thickness or cross-section.

6 / Shinogi

Shinogi

Long ridge line on many blades · visible feature · lighting dependent

The shinogi is the longitudinal ridge found on many katana blade geometries. Angled light normally reveals it more clearly than a flat side photograph.

Source boundary: Do not claim every blade has the same ridge geometry.

7 / Hamon

Hamon

Visible hardened-pattern area on some blades · visible feature · model dependent

Hamon refers to the visible pattern associated with differential hardening on traditionally treated blades. A decorative or etched line can look similar, so the specific product description must confirm the process.

Source boundary: Do not equate every visible line with clay tempering.

8 / Bo-hi

Bo-hi

Groove in the blade · visible feature · model dependent

A bo-hi is a groove running along part of the blade. It is a design and geometry feature, not a standard component on every katana.

Source boundary: Do not promise weight, sound or performance effects for the pictured product without evidence.

9 / Boshi

Boshi

Hardened-pattern continuation in the point · visible feature · not reliably visible

Boshi is the continuation of a hardened pattern into the kissaki on a differentially hardened blade. It normally requires suitable polish, lighting and close inspection to identify.

Source boundary: Do not place a confident hotspot when the selected photograph cannot show it.

10 / Nagasa

Nagasa

Blade-length measurement · measurement · not a removable part

Nagasa is the blade-length measurement taken in a straight line from the notch near the habaki to the tip. It is a measurement, not a removable part of the sword.

Source boundary: Use an illustrative measurement line; do not publish a product dimension unless verified.

11 / Sori

Sori

Blade curvature measurement · measurement · not a removable part

Sori describes the curvature of the blade. It is measured rather than removed, and the amount and location of curvature vary by blade.

Source boundary: Do not label it as a fitting or universal curve value.

12 / Habaki

Habaki

Blade collar · visible fitting · visible

The habaki is the collar fitted around the base of the blade immediately in front of the guard assembly. It is also the part that seats at the mouth of the saya.

Source boundary: Material and exact fit belong to the specific product.

13 / Seppa

Seppa

Spacers around the guard · visible fitting · partly visible

Seppa are thin spacers positioned around the tsuba in the mounting. In an assembled side view, only their edges may be visible.

Source boundary: Do not claim a fixed number for every mounting.

14 / Tsuba

Tsuba

Hand guard · visible fitting · visible

The tsuba is the guard between the blade and handle. Its shape, material and decoration vary widely, making it one of the easiest fittings to identify in product photographs.

Source boundary: Do not infer material or historical style without product evidence.

15 / Fuchi

Fuchi

Collar at the front of the handle · visible fitting · visible

The fuchi is the collar at the front end of the tsuka, next to the guard assembly. It is commonly paired visually with the kashira at the other end.

Source boundary: Pairing and material vary by mounting.

16 / Tsuka

Tsuka

Handle or hilt · assembly · visible

The tsuka is the handle assembly of the sword. It can include a wood core, surface panels, wrap, ornaments, pins and metal fittings, but the exact construction must be checked for the specific model.

Source boundary: Do not imply one construction method across all products.

17 / Samegawa

Samegawa

Ray-skin or ray-skin-style handle surface · visible material or texture · partly visible

Samegawa refers to the ray-skin surface traditionally used on the tsuka. On production swords, the visible texture and material specification should be confirmed from the product listing.

Source boundary: Do not call a texture genuine ray skin unless verified.

18 / Tsuka-ito

Tsuka-ito

Handle wrap · visible wrap · visible

Tsuka-ito is the wrap around the handle. Color, material, tension and wrapping pattern are model-specific and should be judged from current product media and specifications.

Source boundary: The explorer identifies the wrap but does not certify its material or tightness.

19 / Menuki

Ornaments beneath or within the handle wrap · visible fitting · partly visible

Menuki are small ornaments positioned beneath or within the handle wrap. Their design and placement can be partly hidden by the ito.

Source boundary: Do not infer material, age or symbolic meaning without evidence.

20 / Mekugi

Mekugi

Pin securing the handle assembly · structural fitting · may be visible

Mekugi are pins used in the blade-and-handle assembly. A side photograph may show their exposed ends, but the number, material and internal fit require product-specific confirmation.

Source boundary: Do not promise a number, material or performance based on appearance alone.

21 / Kashira

Kashira

End cap of the handle · visible fitting · visible

The kashira is the fitting at the end of the tsuka. It finishes the handle visually and forms part of the mounting assembly.

Source boundary: Exact construction and fastening vary.

22 / Saya

Saya

Scabbard · assembly · visible

The saya is the scabbard that houses the blade. Its finish, color, fittings and fit vary by model, so the explorer identifies the object rather than certifying its materials or retention.

Source boundary: Do not infer wood, lacquer or fit from a generic photograph.

23 / Koiguchi

Koiguchi

Mouth of the saya · visible feature · visible

The koiguchi is the opening or mouth of the saya where the habaki seats when the sword is sheathed. It is easiest to identify in a close view of the upper end of the scabbard.

Source boundary: Do not claim fit quality from the visual alone.

24 / Kurigata

Kurigata

Cord knob on the saya · visible fitting · model dependent

The kurigata is the projection on the saya through which the sageo is routed or attached. Its form and position vary with the mounting.

Source boundary: Not every scabbard presentation uses the same fitting.

25 / Sageo

Sageo

Cord attached to the saya · visible textile · model dependent

The sageo is the cord attached to the saya at the kurigata. Its color, material and tying style are specific to the mounting shown.

Source boundary: Do not claim traditional material or use without product evidence.

26 / Kojiri

Kojiri

Lower end or end fitting of the saya · visible feature or fitting · model dependent

Kojiri refers to the lower end of the saya and, in some mountings, the fitting that protects or decorates that end. It may be plain or fitted depending on the sword.

Source boundary: Do not imply a separate metal fitting when the selected saya does not have one.

27 / Nakago

Nakago

Tang concealed inside the handle · concealed blade structure · hidden

The nakago is the tang: the section of the blade concealed inside the tsuka. Because it is hidden in an assembled sword, it should be shown only in a verified schematic or disassembly photograph.

Source boundary: Never invent its length, shape, holes or signature from the exterior image.

Exploded view separates only source-supported visible groups. Measurements and concealed structures never move as parts.

Codanna lann: na téarmaí a théann i bhfeidhm ar chomhchruth an chlaímh

Is úsáidí na téarmaí lann nuair a dhéanann tú comparáid idir grianghraif lánfhad agus grianghraif garlíne. Míníonn siad cruth, imeall, cuar agus líne amhairc an chruach.

Téarma Bré an Bhéarla shimplí Cad ba cheart a sheiceáil ar leathanach táirge
Kissaki Barr nó pointe na lainne. Féach ar chruth an bharra agus an bhfuil na grianghraif garlíne soiléir.
Ha / Hasaki An limistéar gearrtha. Seiceáil an gcuireann an liostú roghanna géar nó neamhgéar ar fáil.
Mune Cúl-imeall nó drom na lainne. Úsáid grianghraif taobh chun tiús agus próifíl na lainne a thuiscint.
Hamon An líne théimhrithe infheicthe nó an líne amhairc ar stíl hamon ar an lann. Ná glac leis go gciallaíonn gach líne infheicthe an chóireáil teasa chéanna. Léigh sonraí cruach agus teannadh an táirge.
Nagasa Fad na lainne, a thomhaistear de ghnáth ón mbonn go dtí an barr. Úsáid é seo in éineacht leis an bhfad iomlán chun spás taispeána agus ionchais loingseoireachta a mheas.
Sori Cuaire an lann. Déan comparáid idir grianghraif lánfhaid; athraíonn an chuaire mothú an chlaímh iomláin.
Shinogi / Shinogi-ji An líne iomaire agus an t-achar réidh in aice léi ar go leor cruthanna lann katana. Is fusa iad seo a mheas i ngrianghraif shoiléire uillíneacha ná in ainmneacha táirgí.

Garra agus feistis: na sonraí a thugann ceannaitheoirí faoi deara ar dtús

Cabhraíonn téarmaí garra agus feistis leat stíl, compord agus carachtar taispeána a chur i gcomparáid. Ar go leor leathanach táirgí, cruthaíonn na sonraí seo an difríocht amhairc is láidre idir dhá chlaíomh atá cosúil le chéile ar shlí eile.

Tsuka, ito, agus samegawa

Tsuka is ea an garra. Ito is ea an fillteán. Samegawa tagraíonn sé do uigeacht i stíl chraiceann roic faoin bhfillteán nó timpeall air. Seiceáil dath, patrún an fhillteáin, agus an bhfuil an garra ag teacht le téama iomlán an chlaímh.

Tsuba, seppa, agus habaki

Tsuba is an garda é. Seppa is spásairí in aice an gharda iad. Habaki is é an collar lann. Is féidir leis na páirteanna beaga miotail seo claíomh a dhéanamh simplí, ornáideach, spreagtha ag anime, nó traidisiúnta.

Fuchi, kashira, agus menuki

Fuchi is é an collar láimhe, kashira is é an pommel, agus menuki is ornáidí greama iad. Tá siad beag, ach is minic a shocraíonn siad an mothaíonn claíomh taispeána críochnaithe.

Téarmaí Saya agus scabbard: áit a dtagann dath agus stíl taispeána chun solais

Ní stóráil amháin atá sa saya. I ngrianghraif ríomhthráchtála, is minic a rialaíonn sé an chéad tuiscint mar is furasta dath, snas, corda agus feistis a fheiceáil fiú sula dtarraingítear an lann.

Téarma Ciall Nóta ceannaitheora
Saya An scabbard. Déan comparáid idir dath, críochnú, patrún, agus an chaoi a bhfuil sé le feiceáil in aice leis an lámh.
Koiguchi Béal an truaill. Mionsonra beag de ghnáth, ach tá sé tábhachtach i ngrianghraif chóngaracha saincheaptha.
Sageo An corda atá ceangailte leis an truaill. Is féidir le dath agus stíl an cheangail dul i bhfeidhm ar chuma iomlán an taispeántais.
Shirasaya Stíl shimplí feistithe adhmaid. Ná measc é le feistiú maisiúil iomlán katana.
Maisiú ar stíl Kozane Dromchla maisiúil ar nós sceall a úsáidtear ar roinnt dearaí truaill saincheaptha. Is rogha amhairc saincheaptha é seo, ní cuid chaighdeánach de gach katana.

Conas páirteanna katana a úsáid agus tú ag siopadóireacht

Má tá tú ag ceannach réamhdhéanta

Úsáid na téarmaí chun a sheiceáil an bhfuil grianghraif an táirge ag teacht leis an teideal. Ba chóir go dtaispeánfadh leathanach réamhdhéanta maith an lann, an tsuka, an tsuba, an saya, agus an fad iomlán go soiléir go leor le haghaidh comparáide.

Má tá tú ag tógáil saincheaptha

Bíonn cinntí katana saincheaptha níos éasca nuair a dhealaíonn tú an lann, an snas, na feistis, an lámh-fhilleadh, an saya, agus an inscríbhinn. Fiafraigh faoi shonraí go luath mar is féidir le hathruithe móra am breise a chur leis nuair a thosaíonn an táirgeadh.

Má tá tú ag déanamh comparáide idir claimhte atá spreagtha ag anime

Cabhraíonn ainmneacha carachtar leat an réimse ceart a aimsiú, ach ba cheart an rogha deiridh a bheith bunaithe ar mheáin táirge iarbhír agus ar shonraíochtaí. Níor cheart claimhte spreagtha a mheas mar earraí oifigiúla mura luaitear go soiléir é.

Leathanaigh úsáideacha eile

Ná húsáid na leathanaigh seo ach amháin nuair a thugann siad freagra ar do chéad cheist eile. Is é an sprioc comparáid a dhéanamh níos éasca, ní gach rud a chliceáil.

Ceisteanna Coitianta

Cad iad na codanna katana is tábhachtaí do cheannaitheoirí?

Tosaigh le fad na lainne, críochnú na lainne, tsuba, tsuka, saya agus rogha an chiumhais. Is iad seo na sonraí is dóichí a mbíonn tionchar acu ar chuma an taispeántais agus ar ionchais an cheannaitheora.

An gciallaíonn hamon i gcónaí go bhfuil an lann cré-choigeartaithe?

Níl. Ba chóir líne hamon nó líne ar nós hamon atá le feiceáil a sheiceáil i gcoinne thuairisc an táirge. Léigh na sonraí cruach agus teannadh atá liostaithe sula ngabhann tú i mbun talamh a dhéanamh ar conas a rinneadh an lann.

Cad é an difríocht idir tsuka agus saya?

Is é tsuka an láimhseáil. Is é saya an truaill. Bíonn tionchar ag an tsuka ar ghreim agus ar chuma na láimhe; bíonn tionchar ag an saya ar stóráil, ar chothromaíocht datha, agus ar stíl taispeána.

An féidir liom na codanna seo a roghnú ar katana saincheaptha?

Ligeann go leor tógálacha saincheaptha duit stíl na lainne, cruach, snas, tsuba, fillteán láimhe, saya, feistis, agus inscríbhinn a roghnú. Seiceáil an tógálaí saincheaptha agus déan teagmháil le NIMOFAN má tá sonra ann a dteastaíonn deimhniú ina leith.

Cén fáth a bhfuil níos mó tábhachta ag baint le grianghraif táirge ná le téarmaíocht?

Cabhraíonn téarmaí leat claíomh a thuiscint, ach taispeánann grianghraif an chríoch, an chomhréir, an dath, agus an oiriúint iarbhír. Nuair a mhothaíonn an teideal agus na grianghraif difriúil óna chéile, bíodh muinín agat as meáin agus sonraíochtaí reatha an táirge.
