I work with a young man with disabilities he loves the history about the katana swords. I have been trying to find a magazine w/katana swords in it. Would you be able to send a magazine or be able to help us. My address is 2160 hwy 100 labadie, MO 63055

I wanted to know why there are no comments or anything about the “missing samuri sword”. A very powerful sword that was never seen again. It had a white ivory handle and was a very important piece of history.

I’m interested in history of samurai sword.Emperor of Japan “Tennno” is the last royal prerogative supported by ancient myth in the world.
The Oldest japanese myth literature “Kojiki” says that Imperial treasure sword was got by the god Susanoo from eight head dragon in Izumo.
Raw steel of samurai sword is only made by Hitachi Metals at Yasugi Izumo Shimane prefecture.However Hitachi Metals is famous high-tech steel maker,raw material of formal japanese sword is made by ancient steel making method “Tatara”. Raw steel is called “Tamahagane”(Jewel like steel).
I hear that it is supreme one for sword making.I wanna get and forge it.
