Touken Ranbu

Touken Ranbu debuted in 2015 and sparked an unprecedented surge of interest in Japanese swords. Its defining feature is that every blade in the game is based on a real, historically documented sword. Mikazuki Munechika is a National Treasure and one of the Five Greatest Swords of Japan, housed at the Tokyo National Museum. Heshikiri Hasebe is a celebrated blade from the Kuroda clan, held at the Fukuoka City Museum. Shokudaikiri Mitsutada was a beloved sword of Date Masamune, surviving war damage and now preserved at the Tokugawa Museum. Okurikara is a treasured heirloom of the Date clan, while Tsurumaru Kuninaga is a Heian-era masterwork by Kuninaga, now part of the Imperial Collection. Tonbokiri, the famous spear of Honda Tadakatsu, is displayed at the Sano Art Museum. At DATEKATANA, we offer authentic antique and traditional swords from the very same schools and lineages that produced these legendary blades.
