This kind of Zhenxiu is now rated as a national treasure of Japan, and although it is not the top-notch kind, it is also a typical textile that is very representative of the development of Japanese embroidery and silk culture.

It is precisely because of the Japanese characteristics on them that these things have become Jin Muchen's trophies.

Three pieces in a row were all bagged by Jin Muchen.

But this is not the end, there are more good things that Jin Muchen wants to collect next, such as Japan's most famous national treasure, the Japanese sword!

This Japanese sword is the pride of the Japanese people, and it is also one of the most representative antiques in Japan.

Although in the eyes of the Japanese, they are more fond of porcelain with extremely fine workmanship, such as the Nayao Changing Tenmu Bowl, or the calligraphy and paintings left by famous Japanese historical figures.

But in fact, internationally, especially for European and American collectors, the things that are really worth collecting in Japan are those sharp Japanese swords.

Because these knives are so distinctive, even those Europeans and Americans have compared Japanese swords with many European broad-mouthed heavy swords in the Cold Weapon Age and various famous Chinese swords.

And its sharpness, and man-machine function, is undoubtedly the best in the knife, even those who have always been proud of the white Europeans and Americans, but also have to admit that the Japanese sword is indeed the sharpest and most lethal weapon in the era of cold weapons.

Even if such a conclusion will make many Chinese feel uncomfortable, the facts are the facts. Proven by modern science. This Japanese sword was born from the Chinese Tang sword. It is indeed much sharper than our later Chinese cold weapons, and their lethality on the battlefield is also greater.

Of course, this is only for cold weapons such as knives, if you use a Japanese sword against a spear on the ancient battlefield, the result will still be the same.

Of course, the Japanese value these Japanese swords, which are highly regarded by Europeans and Americans. It has also been designated as a National Treasure.

It's just that they didn't put these Japanese swords, like the treasures in front of them, in the second exhibition hall, but in the fifth exhibition hall.

The fifth exhibition hall displays all the relics left by Japanese soldiers in the era of cold weapons.

Not only are there these shiny Japanese swords, but there are also a lot of armor, but these armors are not very famous compared to those Japanese swords.

Although the workmanship is very beautiful, but in terms of cherishing. But it's not high, and it can't be compared to those Japanese swords.

Jin Muchen didn't attack these bulky armors either. Instead, he went straight to the exhibition area of those Japanese swords, after all, when he came to step on the plate a few days ago, he had specially patronized this exhibition area, and he had specially checked it carefully.

At this time, these Japanese swords were neatly placed on the east wall of Hall 5.

Jin Muchen went straight to the east wall and came to the front of a Japanese sword, the name of this Japanese sword is called the Lidi Luoluo Gold Decorative Sword!

Just by looking at the name, you can know that this is not a sword that is actually used on the battlefield, but a decorative sword and an ornamental sword that is the same as the Ju Yiwen Sect that Jin Muchen collected before!

However, if this sword is famous, it is not inferior to the status of the Ju Yiwen Sect.

Although it is not one of the five famous swords in Japan, all the swordsmiths in Japan dare to deny the status of this sword in the rivers and lakes of Japanese swords.

Because this sword can be said to be the ancestor of all Japanese swords.

And the reason why this is a sword, not a sword, is entirely because of the shape of this sword, the sword body is straight, can be one meter long, the hilt is about 20 centimeters, the whole sword is thin and long, not to mention the shape, and the later generations of Japanese swords are very different.

This sword was made in the Heian period of the 12th century, about 300 years after the Tang Dynasty's Tang sword was introduced to Japan.

At this time, most of the weapons used by Japanese samurai were imitation of Tang swords, and real Japanese swords had not yet appeared at this time.

It was not until the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty that a large number of Song Dynasty craftsmen crossed east to Japan, bringing more advanced smelting and sword-casting technology to Japan, coupled with the experience accumulated by the Japanese themselves in the war, and gradually gave birth to the famous Japanese sword in later generations.

And this pear snail gold decorative sword, in fact, has begun to gradually have the prototype of the later Japanese sword.

Although his shape still has the characteristics of the straight Tang knife, but at the tail end, it has begun to gradually have the unique arc of the Japanese sword, which can be said to be a weapon made in Japan, and gradually a transitional product from the Tang knife to the Japanese sword evolution period.

Therefore, in the eyes of many Japanese swordsmiths, this decorative sword, although it can only be used as an ornament and decoration, but its actual significance is not trivial, it can be regarded as the first masterpiece of the Japanese sword that began to evolve from the shape of the Tang sword.

This sword has played a role in the history of Japanese swords, and in the history of Japan, it is also very famous, and it is because of the extraordinary experience of this sword that it is considered a national treasure among Japanese national treasures.

In the Heian period, when high-ranking officials attended court ceremonies, not many people could wear weapons, even powerful ministers of the government and the opposition, unless they had the permission of the emperor, such favored ministers could wear swords on their bodies, and most of them were decorative swords, and they must not be truly lethal swords.

And this sword is the sword of Fujiwara Mako, the favorite of the emperor in the Nara period, and this Fujiwara Makazu brother was the favorite of the emperor at that time, and he was also a famous big man in Japanese history.

The sword is golden all over, and it looks quite resplendent with a golden taste, and this color alone already reflects the extraordinary status of the owner who wears this sword.

Moreover, the shape of this ornamental sword also has strong Chinese characteristics, with a handle covered in shark skin, and the part that protrudes to both sides at the junction between the handle and the blade is a hammer-shaped hammer with obvious Chinese characteristics, and the scabbard and handle are equipped with long metal ornaments and other characteristics.

These characteristics are obvious characteristics of the Chinese Tang knife, and these characteristics alone can prove that the origin of this knife is definitely from China.

The ornament on this sword is made of traditional Japanese silver-plated baseplate, and it also uses gold-plated high-relief and openwork carvings to express a slender chrysanthemum pattern, and a mountain-shaped metal ornament is added above the two places near the scabbard.

Between each of the long metal ornaments on the scabbard is a delicately crafted 'pear field', and the maki-e technique, in which extremely fine gold and silver powder is applied and then lacquered and polished, to make the plough look like a pear skin, and the long-tailed bird pattern is created on the plough using the Raden technique.

The workmanship of the whole sword can be said to be extremely cumbersome, but the effect is also extraordinary, such a beautifully crafted sword, even in Japan, which is famous for its sword-casting, is rare, and this unique Japanese style in health care is the preference of the Japanese people for their pride in 'harmony'.

In later generations, although many Japanese swordsmiths have forged many treasure swords, few of them have been able to reach such heights in terms of exquisite workmanship.

This is also the main reason why this ornamental decorative sword can stand out among many famous swords produced in Japan and be designated as a Japanese National Treasure.

The sword was later collected by the Hirohashi family, a descendant of the Fujiwara Kita family, until the sixties and seventies of the last century, when the then director of the Tokyo National Museum went to the Hirohashi family to persuade the Hirohashi family to persuade him to lend the sword to the Tokyo National Museum for display, and has been borrowing it to this day.

Of course, the Tokyo National Museum has to pay a lot of money every year to rent this sword to the Hirobashi family, and they are not obligated to lend you such a sword for nothing.

In fact, many of the famous Japanese swords in this sword museum were actually borrowed from the Tokyo National Museum, from those famous Japanese families.

Looking at this sword, which combines Chinese elements and Japanese characteristics, Jin Muchen's heart was also up and down for a while, and finally calmed down, and then he took the sword into his pocket.

Although it is a decorative sword, it is also the ancestor of the Japanese sword, so this sword has an extraordinary status in the hearts of the Japanese.

Since it is the most beloved national treasure of the Japanese people, of course, there is no reason to let it stay in Japan, and it is necessary to take it with you.

After putting away the treasure knife, he continued to move forward, and soon Jin Muchen stopped in front of a display case.

In this display case, there is a typical Japanese sword, this knife is not like the decorative sword just now, it looks resplendent, but the air conditioner, although through the glass case, Jin Muchen can feel the murderous aura exuded by this knife.

Needless to say, this must be a knife that has been on the battlefield and drunk human blood.

And unlike the previous decorative sword, the shape of this sword is already a typical Japanese sword, and the handle is also an ordinary black wooden handle, and the scabbard is also a black scabbard.

Just looking at the appearance, it is difficult to see what material the handle and scabbard of this knife are made of, and I did not see a detailed introduction in the previous introduction.

The nameplate on the front of this Japanese sword is very brief: Taidao, Mingsanjo, blade length 80 cm, scabbard length 85 cm......

If you just look at the shape of the knife and the name of the knife, you may not realize anything, but if you know the other name of this knife, I am afraid that many people who are familiar with Japanese swords will not be able to keep their composure.

Three days and the moon are near! It's another name for this knife, and it's one of Japan's five most famous swords!

[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better! (To be continued.) )
