Sword Testing Video

The Shishi is the lion of Japanese mythology. The lion looks very similar to the Fu Lion of Chinese myth. This similarity is due to the importation of the Fu Lion from China to Japan during the transmission of Buddhism to Japan in 500 CE. The Shishi were characterized as playful, yet intrinsically protective creatures. Due to this protective nature the Shishi were the protectors of children.

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.
