The legendary Honjo Masamune! The Honjo Masamune was a real sword, lost not in antiquity but in the comparatively recent past ( 1946 ). It is among the greatest lost treasures of the world. The Honjo Masamune sword, crafted by Goro Nyudo Masamune during the Kamakura period, is considered to be one of the finest swords in Japanese history. Gorō Nyūdō Masamune was a renowned medieval Japanese swordsmith, probably the greatest in the history of Japan. He created a number of daggers and swords during a 40 year career between 1288 and 1328. Honjo Masamune sword has an extraordinary history that spans centuries, having passed through the hands of several well-known Japanese figures, including Tokugawa Ieyasu, Oda Nobunaga, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Many historians believe that the name Honjo connects to General Honjo Shigenaga who gained this sword in battle in the 16th century. It also played a role in major battles such as Sekigahara which led to the establishment of the Tokugawa Shogunate.

It was lost to mystery and time.....until NOW.
Own a piece of history. Set it on a shelf in your outpost, or wield it to once again defeat enemies!

* This representation SKIN is based on what information I could find from records from 1939. It is said the handle ( TSUKA ) was a dark blue doe skin, and hardware ( HABAKI, TSUBA, KASHIRA ) was gold in color. I tried to get the Ji-Nie and Hamon ( temper line/soft line ) to match the pattern from sketches of the 1939 National Treasure listing, but its not perfect. Its a game, just have fun.
