This refers to the shape of the grilling blade, which is made up of fine particles. The basic shapes are straight blades and random blades, but the shapes are unique to swordsmiths, and there are many different types. Hamon can be said to be created by chance, so no two are exactly the same.

There are straight grain, wood grain, and board grain, and these can sometimes intersect. Boushi(帽子): Boushi refers to the blade pattern on the tip of a sword. Masakuni was a swordsmith from around the Genna period in the early Edo period, and was said to be a disciple of Kunimasa of the Horikawa school, and was active in Yamashiro Province (present-day Kyoto). 地金は板目肌に杢目交じる。刃文は小丁子乱れに、小互の目乱れ。尖り刃や矢筈状の刃交じる。刃中には砂流し掛る。(The Japanese expressions.)

Horikawa Kunihiro was a swordsmith of the Azuchi-Momoyama period and the founder of the Horikawa school, a powerful force in the Shinto period (1596-1763). One of his representative works is the "Yamanbakiri Kunihiro", which he forged in 1590 at the request of the feudal lord Nagao Akinaga. "Yamanbakiri Kunihiro" is a copy of the sword of Osafune Nagayoshi, a Bizen sword handed down from the family line, which Akinaga received from Hojo Ujimasa, and is highly regarded as the craftsman's masterpiece. His disciples included master swordsmiths such as Dewa Daijo Kunimichi, Kuniyasu, Osumi no Jō Masahiro, Echigo no Kami Kunitomo, Izumi no Kami Kunisada, Kawachi no Kami Kunisuke, and Yamashiro no Kami Kunikiyo, and they flourished as the Horikawa school. The works of this school are commonly called "Horikawa-mono." He is a swordsmith comparable to Umetada Myoju, the founder of the Shinto style.
