Onimaru Kunitsuna, Famous Thing Daitota, Mikazuki Sojin, Shuzhu Maru Hengji and Tongzi Che Angang, this is the five famous swords in the world that were evaluated by the Japanese themselves!
And the one that appeared in front of Jin Muchen first was the Three Sun Moon Sect among the five famous swords in the world!
The status of this knife in the history of Japanese swords is not inferior to the Ju Yiwen Sect that Jin Muchen has already obtained, and the pear snail gold decorative sword that he has just obtained before.
The Kikuchimon Monjo and the Richi Luojin Decorative Sword, both of which are more decorative than practical, are also Japanese swords with higher symbolic significance.
This three-day moon is one of the pioneering masterpieces of the utilitarian Japanese sword, and the production of this knife is very long, the specific time should be in the late 11th century, to the early 12th century Heian period.
It was the sword production in Japan at that time, and from the shape of the Tang sword, it began to derive the originator of the later Japanese sword shape.
If the pear snail gold decorative sword is a representative of the transformation of Japanese decorative swords, then this three-day moon Sojin is a representative work of the transformation of Japanese sword pragmatism.
And if you talk about the status of the rivers and lakes, the status of this knife, and the pear snail gold decorative sword, but it has always been a debate.
Although the pear snail gold decorative sword was not rated as one of the five famous swords in the world in Japan.
But after all, it is an ornamental device, and you must know that in antiques, the value of all ornamental devices is higher than that of practical tools.
What's more, the sword is so beautifully made? Moreover, its fame, until the 8th year of Yonglu, was much higher than that of this Three Days and Moon Sect.
And in the eyes of those craftsmen in Japan. The fame of this three-day moon sect is much greater than that pear snail gold decorative sword, because in the eyes of those who cast weapons, the knife is originally a weapon to kill, so a weapon that can kill people is of course much more valuable than the ornamental sword that is not useful.
So about these two sword swords of almost the same era. In the end, which is higher and which is lower, in the Japanese knife world, but there has been endless debate, and there is no conclusion.
If the age of this three-day moon sect is said to be made, it is actually much earlier than the pear snail gold decorative sword, at least it was born more than ten or twenty years earlier than that sword.
But why, in the annals of history, the Richiro gold decorative sword, is called a representative of the transformation of the Japanese sword, instead of this sword?
The reason is simple. However, it is because this sword has always been unknown at the beginning of its birth, because most of the knives used by Japanese samurai at that time were still derived from the straight knives of Tang swords.
And this sword, which has the arc of the Japanese sword of later generations, is completely different in the eyes of those samurai, so not many people are willing to use this knife, so the reputation of this knife has never been very great.
In addition, the swordsmiths in Japan at that time were not a noble industry. Even the name of the swordsmith is not recorded in an inscription in history.
Hence the name of the maker of this knife. Even now, people haven't figured it out.
When this knife was first made, it was supposed to be called Sanjo Sokin, and according to the rules of the time, this Sanjo Sokin should be the name of the craftsman who cast this treasure island.
However, there has been a lot of debate about this point to this day. The only thing that Japanese archaeologists can be sure of is that the last two characters of the name of the craftsman who cast the knife at that time were called Sokin.
But whether the first three are the surnames of this sect or not cannot be determined until now.
Because of the swordsmiths of that era. It is a lowly industry, unlike the later era of Japanese swords, famous swordsmiths can not only leave their names on the sword, or name the sword they made at will, but also leave their name in history.
At the end of the eleventh century, swordsmiths were not even a profession at all, at that time they were just a special group of blacksmiths.
Therefore, many Japanese historians believe that this sword, originally known as Sanjo Sokin, should have been cast at a smelter called Sanjo near Kyoto at that time, and the master of the sword casting was called Sokin, so it was named Sanjo Sokin.
Just a few doubts are one that has been debated endlessly in the Japanese archaeological community.
After these three sects were forged at that time, they were kept in the arsenal of Kyoto, and later after entering the Kamakura period, the Ashikaga family became the shogun, and this sword became the collection of the Ashikaga shogun.
It was not until later that this style of Japanese sword began to become popular in Japan, and the Ashikaga family remembered that in their arsenal, there was actually another Japanese sword made hundreds of years ago, so they found this knife and became the favorite of the Ashikaga generals in the past generations.
And the reason why this sword became famous in Japan was in the 8th year of Eiroku, that is, in 1565 AD, when the Kamakura shogunate had reached the end of its period and was very unpopular.
At that time, a Japanese samurai, Matsunaga Hide, united with the Miyoshi trio to assassinate the shogun at the time.
They successfully ambushed and attacked the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru at the Nijo Imperial Palace, which was the famous Eiroku Revolution in Japanese history.
And the shogunate general at that time, Ashikaga Yoshiki, was wielding this three-day moon sect near, and fought bravely against those assassins, of course, although this general was very brave, but the tiger was invincible to the wolves, and the people were also carefully calculated, but in the end he still could not escape the doom, and finally was cut off by someone.
And this brought the Three Moons Sect close, and after the war, it became a trophy and passed to Miyoshi Masayasu, one of the ten warriors of Sanada who participated in the assassination.
Later, Miyoshi Masayasu dedicated this knife to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and it became the property of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's main room Gaodai Temple.
Later, the sword was given to Tokugawa Hidetada, the son of Tokugawa Ieyasu, and was collected by the Tokugawa Shogun.
It was also after the Yonglu Change, this three-day moon sect was near, and it began to be truly famous in the world, and later after research, people knew, oh, it turned out that hundreds of years before the Japanese sword that was now popular, our ancestors were able to make such a Japanese sword!
Therefore, this knife, in the Japanese sword, especially the practical Japanese sword, has become transcendent all of a sudden.
And if you really want to talk about the quality of this Japanese sword, in fact, it is really far inferior to the fine products that were cast after the Japanese sword was really formed in later generations.
Because this knife does not have all the chrysanthemum patterns on those Japanese swords, the reason why this is the case is also because when this knife was cast at that time, the quenching technology was not up to par and was not mature.
Therefore, the swordsmith at that time, Zong Jin, used the crescent moon pattern to create the treasure sword, and in the processing of the knife pattern, most of them also used the double-bladed technique of parallel lines.
Therefore, although this knife has a transcendent status, if it is said that the quality, it is definitely not as good as the Japanese swords that have been quenched and refined in later generations.
Jin Muchen had received two famous ornamental knives in Japanese history before, and now he finally received a famous practical knife, and it is also one of the five famous swords in the world evaluated by the Japanese themselves, which makes Jin Muchen feel very satisfied.
Putting away this treasure knife, Jin Muchen continued to walk back, because the collection of famous Japanese knives in the Tokyo National Museum is far more than these two.
Behind this three-day moon sect, there is another one of the five famous swords in the world evaluated by the Japanese themselves: the boy Che Angang!
The five famous swords in the world assessed by the Japanese themselves, and today they can see two of the five in this museum, which is also a great luck.
You must know that when I came here the day before yesterday, this knife had not been taken out for exhibition, and Jin Muchen felt quite regretful at that time.
I didn't expect it to be taken out today, and it was taken out for exhibition together with the nearly double sword of the Three Days Moon Sect.
This is really lucky, you must know that the five famous swords in Japan are all famous swords in Japan.
Even though the Tokyo National Museum is powerful and financially powerful, it has only found two of the five treasure swords.
The other three, among which Onimaru Kunitsuna doesn't need to think too much, this knife is now in the collection of the Emperor of Japan, and you can't usually see it even if you want to see it.
In addition, the canon is too light, and now it is collected by the Maeda Yutoku Club in Japan, and it is usually not easy to take it out to show people, even if you want to see it, you can't see it.
The third number of beads pill Hengji, is now collected by Amagasaki's Honko Temple, and is also listed as a 'heavy treasure' by the temple, the same is not easy to take out to show people, ordinary people even if you have money, you may not be able to see it, unless it is those famous Japanese dignitaries, or the emperor's relatives, only to be able to see what the treasure knife looks like.
Therefore, these three days and moon sects are near, and the boy Che Angang can be said to be one of the few treasure knives that ordinary people can often see among the five famous swords in the world in Japan.
These two knives are in the collection of the Tokyo National Museum, so they are often put on display, but the Tokyo National Museum is also very ghostly.
These two famous knives, they generally do not take out at the same time to display, but only take turns at different times before taking out one of them for display.
If you want to see two swords at the same time and exhibit them at the same time, it is not easy to do so, unless one day the museum will take out the two swords and display them at the same time.
However, this kind of experience is rare since the Tokyo National Museum has collected two knives, and so far, the two knives have been exhibited on the same stage less than 10 times.
