樋 (Hi)
The gutter is a groove carved into the blade of a sword, not only to enhance the appearance of the blade, which is carved by the swordsmith himself, but also to reduce weight.
彫刻 (carving)
Japanese swords have long been engraved with religious themes, as they were the weapons with which the samurai trusted their lives, and the engravings were commissioned from craftsmen who specialised in engraving.
拵 (Koshirae)
Japanese swords are usually supplied in a white scabbard (a wooden, unpainted scabbard suitable for storage).
Swords with a scabbard etc. and lacquered are called "arrangements" and can be customised with colours and metal fittings of the customer's choice.
