Japanese swords tend to have hamon pattern on the blade which is created during the forging process by quenching the sword in water. There are two types of hamon, straight (suguha) and wavy (midare).

Midare was named after the wavy pattern of the blade. Normally Awataguchi tantous bear a straight pattern, which already sets him apart from his brothers. The dress and ruffles come from the wavy pattern of the real sword.
