名刀百花

During the era when the samurai rose to power, many famous swords were born. Masatsune, who represents Bizen in the Heian period, Awataguchi Kuniyasu, who served as the official blacksmith for Emperor Gotoba, Sagami Masamune, who forged swords in the foothills of the Kamakura Shogunate, and Horikawa Kunihiro, the father of the new sword style.

Master craftsmen representing each era emerged and produced swords that led the times. These swords were treasured by famous warlords in history, such as Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Kenshin, and Oda Nobunaga, and have been carefully passed down to the present day.

Enjoy these famous swords, each with its own charm, like a hundred flowers.
