Description
This reworked version of the original mod by InsanitySorrow -- this is a stand-alone mod, not just a retexture -- now includes the following:
- A thorough retexture with additional detailing and visual improvements based on real-life katana designs.
- Grips were finished first with rayskin wrapping then additional cotton ribbons. Blade is held down by a couple of bamboo pegs.
- Mirror-finished blade by tweaking the meshes, raising reflectivity along with high-resolution cubemap.
- Scabbards now have a smooth lacquered finish, replacing the rough wood textures.
- Comes in four colors -- blue, brown, black, and red -- plus dark pink (Haru lit. "Spring") and snow white (Yuki no Kaze lit. "Snow Wind")
- Can be crafted using steel and iron ingots, and leather strips; tempering using steel ingots
- Can be enchanted.
Do note that other than adding two new variants, I have not changed the general characteristics of the weapons, nor completely renaming them.
