I was born in a forge.
Man came to find me in the heart of the earth to transform me, to magnify me, to make me the supple, light, lively blade I am today. I accepted the bite of fire, the power of the hammer, the coldness of water. Don't think this has weakened me; on the contrary, it's given me strength.
In my quest for balance, I chose to ally myself with natural wood, a symbol of growth, youth and creation.
I grew up in the heart of the earth, it grew far above me, but its roots had already forged a bond with me long before. And now we're together, perfectly matched, combining youth and suppleness, movement and flexibility... wood and metal elements.

Uesugi Yōzan, the daimyo who saved his people

In the XVIIIᵉ century, Uesugi Yōzan took over the reins of an indebted and starving Yonezawa... starting by setting an example. He cut back on his lifestyle, simplified administration, encouraged sericulture, pottery and paper-making, transformed some of the samurai into farmers and reopened the school of the han. He also encouraged the study of "Dutch" medicine and built village rice granaries to limit the damage caused by the Great Tenmei Famine. Yonezawa regained his equilibrium and became a benchmark of good governance under the shogunate. The figure of Yōzan still inspires today; in 1961, John F. Kennedy reportedly cited this daimyo as the Japanese leader he most respected. A singular and luminous destiny for a great samurai who chose to serve his people before glory.

Maintenance kit

Maintenance of a sword or saber is necessary to prevent oxidation (rust). Old oil must be removed and replaced by a film of new oil. The maintenance kit is composed of several elements:
Microfiber cloth: for cleaning, spreading oil and polishing the blade.
Uchiko: a ball of finely ground chalk (chalk powder) wrapped in a ball of cloth. Intended for cleaning the blade's surface, the powder passes through the wrapping when tapped, allowing it to be sprinkled over the blade's steel.
Oil: applied as a thin film, it protects against oxidation.
Mukugi(x 2): pins (bamboo dowels 目釘) that hold the blade and handle (tsuka 柄) together.
Pin driver (Mekugi Nuki): Small brass hammer with a screwed-in pin for removing mekugi.
Maintenance does not require disassembly, but if you need to remove the handle (tsuka 柄), replace the pins.

Figure 2: Tapping the Uchiko on the blade to deposit limestone powder

Handle with care to avoid injury.
1/ Use the microfiber cloth to remove oil from the blade. From the guard (Tsuba 鍔) to the tip (Kissaki 切先), slide the cleaning cloth over the back of the blade (Mune 棟), folding it in half to wrap both sides of the blade.
Lightly squeeze the cloth between thumb and forefinger to surround the blade from above (first illustration).
2/ Once the old oil has been removed, use the uchiko to lightly tap along the blade (second illustration).
3/ Use the cloth to lightly polish the blade and remove the powder, in the same direction as the first step (first illustration).
4/ Apply the oil along each side of the blade with the sprayer (or a very soft brush). The oil should be spread thinly and evenly, without excess (first illustration).
Be sure not to touch the blade before replacing it in its sheath (saya 鞘).
Clean the microfiber cloth with soapy water.

Legislation

Since September 6, 2013, new legal provisions stemming from the March 6, 2012 law have come into force. These new rules have strengthened criminal penalties against weapons offenders and introduced a new classification.
Katanas, swords, daggers and knives are now classified in category D. The purchase and possession of these weapons are unrestricted. In principle, they may not be carried or transported without legitimate reason. If transported, the weapon must not be "directly" usable. It must be securely packed in a case or container, preferably with a padlock or other protective system.
