That sword (Tachi) bears the clear markings of the Toyotomi clan. The most important figure of this clan was Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was the most powerful man in Japan in that time. We are talking about at least 1570, i.e. the time before the Battle of Sekigahara. The sword will probably not come from the Imperial family, but will have something to do with Toyotomi Hideyoshi and his clan. Of course, this does not reduce its historical value in any way - quite the opposite.
After watching this video, I couldn't find any evidence about the Toyotomi family. The family crest is not that of the Toyotomi family. Another thing, looking at the design of the scabbard and tsuba of this sword, it is not a particularly old sword. I guess that the sword was probably made about 100 years ago. It's not a very old sword, but it's definitely a very fine sword. A very expensive sword.
@@地獄龍-m7q I think you are right. I was a bit interested in it, and I think it could probably be a gift from the Japanese foreign minister to the Austro-Hungarian heir to the throne Franz Ferdinand d'Este, who visited Japan sometime around 1892. The coat of arms on the sword will not be of the Toyotomi Hideyoshi family (even if it is originally based on it) but it is a historical emblem of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Yep. Actually Nihonto from Pre Muromachi Era (pre 1300) are sought after for their quality. Many trade secrets were lost after the 1500s due to many large floods. Yes we can make "stronger" steel today but it is very hard to duplicate what our ancestors did with just local Iron, a blast furnace and their hands. Many smiths would spend hundreds of years trying to recreate the perfection of the Kamakura Era and prior
@@xxray88jlxx40 What do you mean? Technology have been with us since stone age like tge first time we lit fire. it's tge accumulation of all human intelligent before us if it make us dumber then surely we will still have witch hunt around
There is evidence of power hammers being used by Japanese swordsmiths in this era. As a modern bladesmith, pretty much every method I use besides the grinder is just an adaptation of ancient technology.
It is a beautiful tachi, however it was very unlikely used by the imperial family. That is Fuji no Hana from Fujita family. The Royal family uses the Kiku no kamon only. During the Kamakura period their was a family known as Fujiwara (However not royalty) it is important to note at this time their was a war between Saeki vs. Fujiwara. Saeki is of royalty at this time. Their was a marriage between the Saeki and Fujita family later on. The war is known as Genji vs. Heiki which is very well known in Japan. My wife is from the Saeki & Fujita marriage.
@@rust32 Yeah, right! As if any museum's director would let a genuine imperial artifact serve in some youtuber show. I have an authentic newyorkan bridge to sell you if you can fall for that. No hard feeling. It have very great craftmanship. IMHO It would be more possible that it once belong to one of the guard of a noble family working for one emperor. That alone would still justify the high value of the weapon. But emperors were too few to have their personal belongings sold to any dojo.
@@ZZZHarpy101 also imagine that such a rare weapon, one that used to belong to a japanese emperor, would make it somehow to Croatia, out of all places. Not being disrespectful towards the country, but I think we can agree that there are some other countries (won't really give any names here) that always went for stuff of such high importance to some other country. It's basically having the English Crown lay in a Namibian museum (just for the sake of the example) 500 years from now. Things like that katana, or the Queen's Crown, are almost sacred to the countries they are coming from.
I really think this Tachi is AMAZING. What I also love to see is the degree of RESPECT and love for swords and traditional Nihon KoBudo Iacu Sensê demonstrates. God bless this man.
Totally love the respect that you show the sword! Every bladed weapon has a soul and was crafted with honor and reverence in mind, It is said that the sword would speak to the craftsman forging it when it was still being worked in it’s early stages. I also think the Honorable and Right thing to would to be return the sword to the family
An amazing piece of art and work. Amazing what they were able to do already so many hundreds of years ago. I think it would be even hard to copy something like this today!
Astonishing sword a real masterpiece of sword making..what i love is the respect that was given to the sword while presenting it..thank you for this awesome video..!
this sword is so well preserved that it feel life it was made yesterday O_o the ammount of details is insane considering the fact that everything was hand crafted and no "machines" were used at that time it's simply beautifull, this is as deadly as it is beautifull
Its is the greatest katana the mall has ever seen. Its coming was foretold by Dan, over at Waldenbooks. It is said that when the UPS truck dropped it off, the entire food court went silent.
At least as glorious as the sword is the man handling it with such respect. The real warrior doesn´t boast or feed his ego. Instead he tries to develop at least a little bit, every day. I´m sure this man took that philosophy to heart. The result is inherent dignity. Every move says more than a thousand words could. "The blue mountains, from the beginning, do not move; The white clouds, by themselves, come and go."
It's really hard to understand the name of the smith, but I think he said it was Rai Magotarō Kunitoshi (which matches what another commenter understood too). If that's indeed the case, then this is definitely a top-tier smith which not only holds a Saijo-saku rating in Fujishiro but also an impressive 300 points in Hawley. For comparison, the most famous Japanese sword smith Gorō Nyūdō Masamune holds a 400 point Hawley rating. There are very few ones that play in that league. It's a pity that we don't get to see much of the blade and that it was not cleaned before showing it. Instead the video focuses on the koshirae which is likely only around 150 years old and while very well crafted much less interesting than the blade itself.
@@2yoyoyo1Unplugged The best way to preserve a blade like that is to remove the oil regularly with a soft microfiber cloth and re-coat it with a fresh layer of oil. I don't see why they could not have done that for the video. As long as you don't use uchiko powder, there is not risk to the blade.
Thankyou for the name of the smith,because I could Not hear what he said lol, and was thinking, "da,700k,who forged it?"Then I see that is a Rai!No wonder it is 700k!And the koshirea is Absolutely The best!,Can't get better than nanako shakudo and gold!As beautiful as it is I would rather have a norishige or Go!
The Tiachi is longer than the Katana, and from what I read was was because they were primarily made for people on horse back is why the lanyard configuration and created by a process of heat folding and clay tempering/cooling processes. I have one very similar to that one in my gun safe, along with my Hoyt Carbon Compound Bow set, AR-15 and AR-10 POF-308 rifle. I have a cheap stainless steel Katana that I keep as display in my living room, just for fun on purpose, so when someone has a birthday, it's a great laugh for cutting cake! It's best to store the Tiachi in oil wrappings (thin plastic wrapping with oil) as they will rust very easily (high carbon steel)! My intent is not to harm people, but definitely will protect you from those who wish to harm you, given if you know how to use it! This kind of sword is not easy to come by as officially made are very limited by the crafter, usually handed down by traits in the family. It is common in Japan where people learn generation after generation techniques! Wishing you all the very best while always being humble!... Life is about living, love is understanding his commandments, and honor comes from righteousness!
I have a lot of issues with the handling of this sword. Here's how the Japanese museums handle their swords: Katanakake and tachikake are equipped with small felt pieces where the blade or koshirae touches the stand (to prevent scratching). Put the sword of soft fabric that doesn't contain any acids rather than hard wood surfaces. You should wear a mouth covering and not talk while holding the blade near your mouth (to prevent spit and moisture droplets which can cause rust to form). Wear gloves. Don't handle it quickly and carelessly. A lot of these actions are not important if you're handling a new sword you intend to use in your practice, but for historical artifacts it is very important. The reason is that such as small scratches and rust builds up over time. Over only a few decades, all the small scratches will build up enough to deteriorate the antique significantly. If rust forms from acids or moisture, it will require removal of metal to restore it, which means there's a limit to how many times rust removal can be performed.
@André Silva So your argument is that museum artifacts should be put to use instead of preserved? Sounds fucking dumb as fuck. If the claims in this video are true, it's being gravely mishandled. If it's really from the 1300s, it's only in this good of a condition because it's been kept out of the hands of people like you. Should we take the old viking ships and ride them around the ocean? Should Ancient Greek pottery be put to use in people's kitchen? It's not a use item you can buy in Ikea, it's an antique. You must either be a troll or profoundly stupid to not understand what a historical artifact is.
Indeed, but this sword is NOT what it is claimed to be. This is not a Kamakura sword. Everything is wrong: the shape, the tip, the hamon and the width. In best case scenario, this would be a Edo / Shinto sword. However, since it signed Rai Kunitoshi, it is a gimei (fake signature) and its value is even less. The koshirae (scabbard and fittings) are very nice, but most likely 20th century.
Very nice!!! Thanks for the good content, there should be more like this. My technical suggestion is in the future maybe some small mics to cut down on the reverb in the room
Amazing sword! I couldn't take a good look at the blade, but the koshirae parts (tsuba, fuchi-kanagu, tsuka-gashira and so on) are as beautiful as those swards I have been seeing in the museums in Tokyo. Especially, I love the nanako finish of black iron ornaments with the gold go-san no kiri pattern, seems very high in quality. Lucky to meet such master piece.
I think you know about swords, but I would like to comment. If you look at the decoration, I think that this sword is a sword for ceremonies, mainly used for ceremonies and ceremonies of the emperor and generals. I think that it is the highest grade sword that seems to have been.
$700 000 converted to Indian Currency would be Rs58 002 595. Almost half corer Crorepati. That is the mighty expensive. How you managed to film one is even greater. Liked the video , keep it up.
Some may know this others may not, but in the traditional sense a katana sword would be made and it would essentially be “alive” and one way to test whether the sword was good in combat is to test it on a living person, then the sword would earn its soul. So in short every sword made up until the mid 1800’s would have been used to kill someone after it was created, usually it was a convict or slave.
These swords have their own meaning to them 😱 that's what makes me love them so much . Without speaking anything they express many things 😍 and the makers of these legendary swords 🙏 I would love to go back in time and touch their feet man 😌. Huge salute to them .
I really wish this had subtitles as it was quite difficult to undertand all the words, especially when Englih and Japanese was mixed together Otherwise great vid
Love your content mate, very interesting. When you have a chance, and the budget, please do upgrade your sound capture. It would make the content absolute top notch!!
ay yo it has the Toyotomi crest on it. if it belonged to a direct descendant of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, then correct me if im wrong but theres a strong possibility that it belonged to the man himself. as well its a living relic of the Toyotomi clan and of the sengoku jidai era. that is priceless.
No paper work, handling a 13th century tachi without gloves. seems legit, its a cool sword but don't say its a original tachi for an emperor from the 13th century
Why hate? They clearly loaned it to a Master for a day and he handled it with reverence. You could see in his eyes he barely wanted to touch the handle or draw it. I'm sure it was cleaned properly and no one touched the blade
Don't educate yourself in japanese history or you might realize how foolish you are for taking movies as facts... In case anyone thinks Hollywood tries to be historically accurate.
That is definitely a beautiful sword. This is an excellent series. I love swords, and as of today now have my 2nd katana. (of course, my katana are inexpensive "budk" katanas). I have enjoyed each of this series ("Lord of the Blades") very much, and feel that these videos are not simply entertainment, but also good documentaries of swords and their capabilities.

@André Silva So your argument is that museum artifacts should be put to use instead of preserved? Sounds fucking dumb as fuck. If the claims in this video are true, it's being gravely mishandled. If it's really from the 1300s, it's only in this good of a condition because it's been kept out of the hands of people like you. Should we take the old viking ships and ride them around the ocean? Should Ancient Greek pottery be put to use in people's kitchen? It's not a use item you can buy in Ikea, it's an antique. You must either be a troll or profoundly stupid to not understand what a historical artifact is.
Indeed, but this sword is NOT what it is claimed to be.
This is not a Kamakura sword. Everything is wrong: the shape, the tip, the hamon and the width.
In best case scenario, this would be a Edo / Shinto sword. However, since it signed Rai Kunitoshi, it is a gimei (fake signature) and its value is even less. The koshirae (scabbard and fittings) are very nice, but most likely 20th century.
Simply Beautyfull
The most Dangerous and Honorable Weapon
That sword is absolutely gorgeous.
Absolutely amazing that is a true masterpiece thank you for this video
The spirit of the lord is in that sword
Haha spirit of a gay dragon demon you mean
It is the most beautiful and awesome tachi I have ever seen
A sword shows its true worth when used in the field of battle. If it is of very high quality, then it should fare well in traditional combat.
That katana is a beautiful piece of art and history, thanks for the interesting video
❤️ love sword
Me too
Ive ways wondered how did any bladesmith back in the day make such beautiful work and detail, with to tools they had at the time,
A most beautiful part of Japanese history.
日本刀に一礼、刀工に敬意、歴代の保存と手入れされて来られた方々に敬意。この方は、刀を所持するのに相応しい。
Very nice!!! Thanks for the good content, there should be more like this. My technical suggestion is in the future maybe some small mics to cut down on the reverb in the room
I'm floored by the history of the blade.
Amazing sword! I couldn't take a good look at the blade, but the koshirae parts (tsuba, fuchi-kanagu, tsuka-gashira and so on) are as beautiful as those swards I have been seeing in the museums in Tokyo. Especially, I love the nanako finish of black iron ornaments with the gold go-san no kiri pattern, seems very high in quality. Lucky to meet such master piece.
...texture on those black/gold coloured fittings is all alligned. Somebody spent a lot of time to produce such a small detail...:D
I think you know about swords, but I would like to comment. If you look at the decoration, I think that this sword is a sword for ceremonies, mainly used for ceremonies and ceremonies of the emperor and generals. I think that it is the highest grade sword that seems to have been.
Swords break and parts get used again
I've never seen a sword so beautifully crafted.
The fact that this 13th century sword is in such good state alone is incredible
The blade itself wasn't. It has been restored.
$700 000 converted to Indian Currency would be Rs58 002 595. Almost half corer Crorepati. That is the mighty expensive. How you managed to film one is even greater.
Liked the video , keep it up.
My UA-cam recommendation for samurai contents just went out of fucking control.
素晴らしい状態の一品ですね。
良いものが見れました、ありがとうございます。
I think there's a sword like that in the game Nioh 2. Think it was called Hikoemon Ichimonji
Some may know this others may not, but in the traditional sense a katana sword would be made and it would essentially be “alive” and one way to test whether the sword was good in combat is to test it on a living person, then the sword would earn its soul. So in short every sword made up until the mid 1800’s would have been used to kill someone after it was created, usually it was a convict or slave.
For a rare sword he sure handles it like a store bought.
Usually museum pieces are handled with gloves and NOT with bare hands.
No, paper and sheet are handled with gloves because the oil on our fingers can damage it. Steel, and wood are not affected.
That sword is completely detailed, it's amazing
These swords have their own meaning to them 😱 that's what makes me love them so much .
Without speaking anything they express many things 😍 and the makers of these legendary swords 🙏 I would love to go back in time and touch their feet man 😌. Huge salute to them .
magnificent, majestic piece
It's definitely beautiful, but I wouldn't want to own a sword so valuable that you could never use it.
Thank you for watching and comment 🙏
Why not? You can buy a modern sword for that. Save the ancient sword for personal value or sell it for profit.
You can watch this sword and take another sword for the fighting.
It's for display I would want to look at that sword all day if I owned it probably not tell anyone about it or I'll get my ass robbed
Looking at that sword, it looked so beautiful I was almost brought to tears.
The blade is so phenomenal like it was forged in heaven.
This sword is amazing. The polishing on it was outstanding...Thanks for sharing this video...
I really wish this had subtitles as it was quite difficult to undertand all the words, especially when Englih and Japanese was mixed together
Otherwise great vid
Love your content mate, very interesting. When you have a chance, and the budget, please do upgrade your sound capture. It would make the content absolute top notch!!
A rare masterpiece such as this should only be handled with cotton or silk gloves, never with bare hands.
That's exactly what I was thinking....
If it was a normal sword from the same time then ig yes but since it’s a masterpiece it wouldn’t be worn out from simply that
In other czech video, he touch sword with wearing silk gloves. But later a sword lent to a moderator who does not have gloves...
As long as the blade is properly cared for it wont matter in the long run.
All I can say is it’s just beautiful I’m at a loss for words
Such a beautiful sword, I don't think anyone would ever in their right mind want to even test it...
@Millenial Picasso bro...
ay yo it has the Toyotomi crest on it. if it belonged to a direct descendant of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, then correct me if im wrong but theres a strong possibility that it belonged to the man himself. as well its a living relic of the Toyotomi clan and of the sengoku jidai era. that is priceless.
You have to own a few katans to be able to know this is legit. By far the nicest katana I've ever laid my eyes on
yes but because of the age the Ha is quite thin i like it to be wider Just personal taste
He said it’s not a katana.
@@Amtcboy "Japanese sword" there.
It’s a Tachi.
@@Amtcboy it's a dasho
Magnificent sword! A feast for the eyes!
No paper work, handling a 13th century tachi without gloves. seems legit, its a cool sword but don't say its a original tachi for an emperor from the 13th century
Did they even have shogun then?
Why hate? They clearly loaned it to a Master for a day and he handled it with reverence. You could see in his eyes he barely wanted to touch the handle or draw it. I'm sure it was cleaned properly and no one touched the blade
Very unique katana to say the least..
Wow.
everyone watch a film called last samurai, it stars tom cruise
You gotta be joking
How old are you lmao
The last samurai is a good ass movie
I love that movie so much.
Don't educate yourself in japanese history or you might realize how foolish you are for taking movies as facts...
In case anyone thinks Hollywood tries to be historically accurate.
Absolutely beautiful~
That is definitely a beautiful sword. This is an excellent series. I love swords, and as of today now have my 2nd katana. (of course, my katana are inexpensive "budk" katanas). I have enjoyed each of this series ("Lord of the Blades") very much, and feel that these videos are not simply entertainment, but also good documentaries of swords and their capabilities.
I like how the the sword master carries himself. He looks so strong when he sits.
I think that sword should go back home to Japan
