Fuchi

Katanas often feature Fuchi as a vital component, which is the circular spacer found at the base of the hilt. This ornamental piece not only serves an aesthetic purpose but also ensures that the tsuba (handguard) sits securely in place while providing balance to the sword. Made from a variety of materials such as brass, copper, or iron, Fuchs serve to enhance the overall beauty and functionality of a katana.
