The reason why this knife attracted Jin Muchen's attention was first because of the shape of this knife.

You must know the shape of the Japanese sword, but what is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people is the unique curved arc, coupled with the sharp tip and blade, plus the gorgeous scabbard, so that people can know at a glance that this is a Japanese sword.

And the knife in front of him, compared with so many Japanese knives that Jin Muchen had seen before, is very maverick, because the handle of this knife is not long, and the blade is also very downloaded, and the arc is not as bent as the usual Japanese knife, coupled with the narrow scabbard, and the round bracer on the handle, this is completely a Western knife, and it is not a Japanese knife at all.

Such a Western sword appeared in the Japanese weapons exhibition hall of the Tokyo National Museum, and it immediately seemed very abrupt.

Jin Muchen was also anxious to collect treasures before, so he didn't pay much attention to this knife, that is, the moment he came out of the lacquerware exhibition hall, the corner of his eyes flickered, and when he saw this knife, Jin Muchen remembered the origin of this knife, so he came over and took this knife into his pocket with great interest.

This is a veritable trophy, Jin Muchen reached out and gently pulled out the blade, although this knife has been born for nearly a hundred years, it is still cold.

Although this knife is not handmade by professional Japanese knife makers like other Japanese swords, but is a knife made by a large number of machines, because of the excellent materials and very careful maintenance, this knife is still cold and shiny and murderous even today.

Add to that the extraordinary status of the owner of this knife, so that's it. This ordinary Western-style saber in terms of material and workmanship suddenly became extraordinary.

And why is this knife so famous? Who was its former owner?

This has to start from the news that Jin Muchen saw a farce a few days ago, saying that a few days ago, Jin Muchen was bored one day and watched TV in the room.

I just saw a Japanese news program that was hyped up about an exhibition of Chinese cultural relics. It's just that when they were introduced this time, these Japanese hosts didn't have any respect or politeness in their mouths, but were full of mocking tones.

It turned out that this exhibition of Chinese cultural relics was a saber exhibition held in the No. 5 Middle School in Beijing, and the sabers on display in this exhibition were very special, and they were all saber seized by Japanese war criminals in World War II.

The original owners of these sabers were all during the invasion of China, and those great Japanese figures such as: Emperor Meiji of Japan, Prince Zaihito, Nobusuke Kishi, Hirobumi Ito, Yoshiko Kawashima, Kenji Dohihara, etc., but anyone who is familiar with that period of history. The names of Japanese war criminals are catchy, and the exhibition is said to be the 108 sabers enshrined by the families of these war criminals.

It is said that these sabers were captured by the Chinese military after the surrender of Japan.

As for this statement, the Japanese host of this news program scoffed and said that he definitely did not believe that you Chinese were talking big.

Don't say anything else, just talk about Nobusuke Kishi's saber, and you'll make a mistake.

Who is this Nobusuke Kishi? How could the Japanese hold on to it?

Many Chinese may not have heard of this guy. But if you talk about his grandson, then the current Chinese must know. His grandson is the current Japanese Prime Minister **** Shinzo who often jumps out to sing against China!

This Nobusuke Kishi is his grandfather, who was a senior civilian official in the Japanese cabinet government before World War II, and served as the prime minister of Japan for a period of time during the war, and after the war, of course, he was also a Japanese first-class war criminal captured by the allies.

At that time, when the Japanese news media introduced the Chinese exhibition. I deliberately enlarged and displayed the photos of the saber of Kishi Nobusuke, whom the Chinese said was 'captured'.

Jin Muchen saw very clearly on the big screen in his room, the saber of Nobusuke Kishi on display at the exhibition of the No. 5 Middle School in the capital was a typical Japanese sword style.

The scabbard is also very luxurious, black lacquer gilt. In the key part, there is also an exaggerated relief inlay decoration pattern, and also uses the typical Japanese gold lacquer decoration style, which is one of the most ornate carving techniques in Japan, but it is rarely used to decorate objects such as scabbards, so it is very inconsistent to appear on this scabbard.

And the most amazing thing is that the blade part of this knife, this blade part is actually a pattern of ukiyo-e spring palace map, these Japanese saw it, and they jumped to their feet angrily and scolded.

You ghosts, what are you going to do, even if you want to bury the ancestors of our Japanese Prime Minister, you can't pour dirty water on his old man like this, right?

And even if you want to throw dirty water on him, then you have to be more professional? What does it mean to be so shoddy?

Although we Japanese are lustful, we are not to the point of decorating the spring palace picture on the sword, right?

But when it comes to this, the confidence of those Japanese hosts is not very strong, it turns out that the Japanese have the habit of decorating the spring palace picture on the blade or even the scabbard, and the Japanese have really had it for a long time.

Especially in the middle and late Edo period, some wandering ronins were really fond of decorating spring palace pictures on their blades and scabbards to show their differences.

But who are those? Those are ronins, but who is Nobusuke Kishi?

That's the son of a Japanese political family, a well-educated senior manager, how can he be compared to those street ronin?

As the former prime minister of Japan, how could Nobusuke Kishi have such low taste?

This is clearly because you Chinese have recently looked at our prime minister unpleasantly, so you took out the grandfather of the people, poured dirty water on the people, and buried the old man.

Several Japanese hosts said a lot on the show, anyway, they all laughed at the Chinese and buried the Chinese.

Probably the meaning, that is, you Chinese means are too inferior, and even if you want to do it, then do it realistically, you don't even know about the investigation of historical data, just make up it out of thin air, aren't you deliberately embarrassed?

What kind of international saber exhibition are you doing, just by looking at Nobusuke Kishi's knife, you know that your exhibition is bullshit, and it is purely a fake exhibition.

Then these Japanese hosts took out the materials they had prepared and began to argue for their former prime ministers.

It turned out that this Kishi Nobusuke was a civilian official before World War II, and before World War II, especially after the successful occupation of the three eastern provinces of China, the Japanese emperor built a sword-casting furnace in the Yasukuni Shrine in order to commend those 'heroic' soldiers, and invited famous sword-casting masters from all over the country to cast a batch of Japanese swords.

And these knives were rewarded to those 'meritorious officials' in the military department, and in the end, only one was left as a national sword used in the sacrifice.

But those swords were awarded to military attachés, so what about those civil officials?

According to the "XX Governor's Office/Provincial Civil Service System" introduced by the Japanese government at that time, Japanese civil officials can actually wear swords, but the knives they are allowed to wear, if it is a Japanese sword, it must be a short knife, if it is a long knife, it must be in the form of a Western sword.

So later, in order not to favor one over the other, the Japanese emperor made a batch of sabers in the Western sword model and rewarded them to the civil officials in the government at that time.

And **** his grandfather was one of the civil officials who was rewarded at that time, and he got a Western-style saber.

And then the Japanese, on the other hand, refuted the credibility of which Chinese saber exhibited it.

That's the experience of this Kishi Nobusuke before and after World War II, this guy did go to China before World War II, from 1936 to 1939.

But in 1939, he returned to Japan and served as Japan's prime minister for a while, but soon stepped down from his position and gave way to Hideki Tojo, Japan's famous Class-A war criminal.

He also served as a civilian minister in Tojo's cabinet for a time, and later in 1944, after the resignation of the Tojo cabinet, he also stepped down.

Later, when Japan surrendered, he happened to have no position, and he happened to be at home.

But because of his relationship with the Tojo Cabinet, during the World War II trial, the Americans did not let him go, and still sentenced him as a Class A war criminal.

When these Japanese hosts talked about this Kishi Shinsuke, they said that his old man had only been active in China for three years, and that time happened to be the most powerful time for the Japanese Empire in China, and the Central Army was defeated and occupied most of China at one time.

And Nobusuke Kishi, who did not go to the war zone at that time, but stayed in Manchukuo at that time, how did you Chinese seize his saber in such a situation?

Moreover, before the United States intervened in the war, people had already returned to Japan until Japan surrendered, did you Chinese fight to Tokyo Bay and occupy Tokyo like the United States at that time?

So this exhibition of yours is completely a copycat exhibition of bad taste, and your purpose in doing this is nothing more than to smear the ancestors of our great prime minister, and it is shameful that you are doing this.

Two days after this program, the Japanese Prime Minister **** actually announced that he would donate the saber left by his grandfather Nobusuke Kishi to the Tokyo National Museum, which was also in the headlines of various Japanese media at that time, in fact, his purpose in doing this was nothing more than a demonstration to the Chinese......
