The handle has a deep blue highlights with the japanese symbol for Waters of the Heaven on it.

Abilities and Powers
Tensui also known as the water blade is a katana whose strength not only lies in its blade but is really due to its sheath. The sheath of tensui has the ability to hold approximately 8,000 gallons of concentrated water within it. Tensui’s blade draws the water out and weaponizes it according to the technique conjured by Minto. The water can be used in various ways from forming waves, shooting out a pressurized stream, coating the body of Minto, and even become blades of water.

The sheath has to be refilled after the water in it has been used up. This can be done by dipping both sheath and blade separately into any natural body of water. Tensui’s blade can also be repaired of any damage by dipping it into a body of water as well.

History
Tensui was created by a Master fishman swordsmith and swordsman. He was known as one of the best swordsman in Fishman island as well as the its leading swordsmith.

He was also proficient in Fishman karate and wanted to infuse some of its techniques into swordsmanship. The techniques he wanted to incorporate the most was the techniques that weaponized water. Such techniques that were used by Hody jones like Yabusame and Uchimizu.

To do this though the swordsmith had to gather special materials for both the sheath and katanas blade to manipulate water. After years of doing so he was finally able to create one blade. He was satisfied enough with one because he could no longer find the alloys and materials suitable to create more.

He kept this as a great treasure until he fell sick one day. He met Minto's dad who took pity on him and brought expert doctors to heal him of this sickness. They were successful and Minto's dad and the fishman swordsmith formed a bond of friendship. As a token of his appreciation the fishman gave Tensui to Minto's father after he had taught him how to use it.
