I'm clothed in darkness, but my soul is pure and clear.
Shining like lightning, whistling through the air with its sharpness, my blade has fought usurpers for decades. I have eliminated those whose dark designs have darkened their minds and corrupted their actions.
But above all, I am an angel protector for all those in need of justice. Today, I'm looking for a new master or mistress of arms, capable of making the edge of my blade sing, and keeping the eternal imposters at bay...

"After the rain", Ame Agaru

In feudal Japan, a group of travelers are stranded by a swollen river in a small country inn. Among them are Ihei Misawa, a ronin, a masterless samurai who excels in the art of combat, and his wife Tayo, who lives only for her husband's love. After the rain, Ihei decides to take on the masters of arms of the local dojos in exchange for money and food. Taken under Lord Shigeaki's thumb, he becomes the master-at-arms of his fiefdom, but rivalries abound.

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.
