The blade has arched shape which is reproducing the element of the traditional Japanese swords Katana. Also forged and sharpened carefully by skillful craftsmen. On the blade engraved HAIKU(Japanese seventeen-syllable poem) is "Miru hito ni, mono no aware wo shirasureba, tsuki ya konoyo no kagami naruramu". To let people who see the moon know "Mono no aware (the sadness or pathos of things)", the moon might exist as a mirror of this world.
