Regarded as a national treasure, this famous blade was once owned by historical figures including local hero Kuroda Kanbei. Its popularity recently exploded thanks to the online game Touken Ranbu. People come from far away to see its outstanding sharpness and workmanship. Not so much a weapon but a piece of art.
