Masamune, Japanese Sword

Masamune was a very known and talented Sword craftsman. Masamune's works characteristics were famous for its beautiful curve and its brightness. He was born in Kamakura period, and his descendants still live in the Kamakura city.

Swords made by Masamune, 600 years ago, is still beautiful. It looks as, its living to preserve its own beauty. In other words, it is innocent as virgin.

Masamune sword only needs to be cleaned and brushed only once or twice a year. This is because, Masamune hardly rusts. This is very mysterious in swords. I am convinced that Masamune made them with all his heart and soul. Everytime I hold this Masamune, my hearts tremble.
