    I just got back from Japan last week and was fortunate to go to the National Museum in Tokyo. Getting to see the Dojigiri“Demon Slayer” in real life was breathtaking. It was hard to believe something can be crafted so perfectly so many years ago.

      That’s wonderful!
      The Tokyo National Museum has many historically valuable swords, including the Dojigiri. Please watch the following video! This is a video about famous swords at the Tokyo National Museum.

      Additionally, I will be uploading a video about swords with the Demon-slaying legends, including Dojigiri Yasutsuna, within a few weeks, so please look forward to that too!😊✨

      The reason why they worship these blades was due the scarcity of materials on their island, they were far from be the sharpest ones comparing to western european and arab ones, but I agree that they were the most beautiful ones with no doubt. (the best blades in therms of sharpness were damascus from middle east)

    Excellent video, thank you for posting! Although high quality Japanese swords aren't all that many legends claim (Can't cut through a machine gun barrel, can't cut a piece of silk that is dropped onto the blade etc), they ARE absolutely beautifully crafted pieces of functional high art, and the absolute ultimate examples of top end blade smithing! Each blade TOTALLY unique. The fact that the blade actually displays the internal crystal structure of the steel is truly stunning! I recently made a Japanese style blade myself, from a monosteel (1070), and did the differential hardening process / clay hardening, and I was SO happy and surprised when I etched the full blade in Ferric Chloride before the final polish, and the Hamon line WAS actually visible! Had a smile on my face all day! Massive respect for the skills of the sword smiths who made these incredible blades!

      Thank you for your sharp observation. As you rightly pointed out, swords given to daimyos or shoguns were highly valuable and treated as treasures, so it is believed that in many cases they were not actually used to cut many people. Indeed, they did carry famous swords, but they were not necessarily on the front lines in battle.

    The theory that the new katana was influenced by Mongolia is a myth without primary sources. China and Mongolia were importing katana.
    Trade between Japan and the Yuan Dynasty
    Exported goods from Japan were gold, silver, copper, mercury, sulfur, swords, fans, raden (shell inlay) and makie (Japanese lacquer sprinkled with gold or silver powder) .Japanese swords were cherished as arms in the Yuan Dynasty and continued to be exported to the Chinese continent in the future generations.
    Mongolian scholar Zheng Si-xiao (1241-1318)."Japanese are brutal and not afraid of death. Even if ten Japanese people encounter 100 enemies, they will fight against them. If they don't win, they all fight until they die.If they do not die in the war, they will be killed by the king's hand when they return.Japanese women are also very temperamental, don't rape them.katana is extremely sharp.

      There is some misinformation in the video. Japanese sword style did change in the Nanbokucho period(just after the kamakura period) in anticipation of the Mongol invasion which eventually failed due to the "divine wind"(kamikaze). The swords became longer and wider with a larger "point"(kissaki). These are some of the best looking Japanese swords in my opinion. Blade #2 is similar to this larger style even though the point area got much larger later on.

It belongs in a museum not in an attic or in th ha ds9 of some rich criminal or billionaire hanging in his collection.

    no Masamune swords listed as treasured? , hmmmmmm

    • @creamcreak
      @creamcreak 3 месяца назад

      contrary to popular belief there are only about 9 masamune swords listed as national treasures, 5 are tantous and 4 are uchigatanas. around 10 are listed as important cultural properties (including the ishida kirikomi masamune and the honjou masamune) and around 3 are listed as important art objects. some are part of the imperial treasure (private collection of the imperial family) but a lot of them are unnamed. most of these swords though are not in any categories, due to the sheer number of it, being in private properties, or lost to time with only written records

    I just want an actual decent Japanese katana, i have bought enough fakes and crap swords, i gave up. I couldn't afford thousands of dollars and yen swords. Im a simple man, I don't want any historical swords or mythical fakes like wolverine canon😂, nor a WW2 dishonored sword, just a real one😢😢

      Try ryansword or hanbon forge. There made in China using traditional techniques. The reason Japanese swords are so expensive is because there treated like firearms. Blacksmiths are only allowed to make a handful a year, and they have to use traditional tamahagane. With these rules they can basically name there own price so 10k for a sword is normal there. I just ordered a custom from Ryansword in T10 tool steel. Price was alot cheaper that a Japanese sword. I think mine was around $350 US. Hopefully this helps a little.

      Those jap smiths though are true masters. They really master their craft, unlike the chinese. If you are a prson that really wants the essense of the katana like the op here, u have to buy a jap sword, not soeme. Chinese mass produced fake katana. The price is ridiculous though. So if it was me, yeah id rather buy a 350usd sword. ​@@joshsniper1

      Most of his works are hidden especially the Honjo Masamune which has a higher value than whatever is mentioned in this list. Only if it resurfaces. I think the only one that can go higher is the imperial regalia sword.
