Samonji Sword News


 For those who love swords and the Battle of Okehazama, I have news for you.  According to Owada Tetsuo, there will be a replication of the Samonji sword that Imagawa Yoshimoto used during the Battle of Okehazama.  When he was killed, it went into the hands of Oda Nobunaga.  The sword used to be 2 feet 6 inches, but Nobunaga shortened it to 2 feet 2 inches.  It was known that Nobunaga tested the sword many times and it was one of his favorite possessions. 

According to the video, the Samonji sword is due early spring of 2021.  The actual Samonji sword is located at Kenkun Jinja in Kyoto.


Tenka no tame!
