Sword Testing Video

According to Japanese Kiyo was a beautiful waitress at a tea house. A visiting priest fell in love with Kiyo, but was ashamed and soon overcame his love. Kiyo was overcome with rage at the priest for rebuffing her love. She traveled to Kompera Temple to learn magic.

Once she learned enough magic to turn herself into a dragon she flew to where the priest lived and melted the bell the priest was hiding in, thus killing the priest. This Katana is the Kiyo Katana.

According to Japanese mythology Ryujin was the god of the seas. Similar to Chinese mythology, the ruler of the seas took the form of a dragon. His palace was under the ocean and constructed from red and white coral. Jelly fish, sea turtles and fish were his servants. The rulers of Japan would trace their lineage to Ryujin. Because of this fact, it was recorded that the Empress Jingu was able to control the tides that won the victory over the Korean navy.

The sword includes a certificate of authenticity, and sword bag.

The blade comes full tang and sharpened.
Saya: The Saya has been constructed from wood with a high gloss blue lacquer finish. A black cotton Sageo has been tied around a bright copper Kurigata. The Koiguchi has been hardened.
Tsuba: The Habaki is a one piece brass construction over a brass Seppa. The Tsuba depicts the story of Kiyo. The priest runs from Kiyo on horse in one scene. In another scene Kiyome has turned into a dragon and is ready to attack the priest who is hiding in a bell. The Tsuba has been highlighted with gold and silver plate.
Tsuka: The Fuchi also features another scene of the priest riding away from the tea house. The Tsuka core is wooden with Same wrapped over the wood. A black cotton Ito has been wrapped over the Same. Two bamboo Mekugi secure the tang in the Tsuka. Silver Menuki decorate each side of the Tsuka. The Kashira is another scene of Kiyo and the priest.
