DMM is currently advertising Touken Ranbu on TV, and the commercials seem like they're particularly trying to get former players to come back to the game. So I think this current smithing campaign is tied to that.

Returning saniwas will want to get the swords they missed, and the quick succession of smithing periods will keep them involved for two weeks, and hopefully they'll get back into it and keep playing instead of drifting away again.
