History
- Although an unsigned sword, the tachi is said to be made by Miiketenta Mitsuyo. He is the replica of Sakanoue No Tamuramaro's sword "Sohayanotsurugi" (Sakanoue no Takaranotsurugi/Houken).
- Owned by Lord Tokugawa Ieyasu, he was said to be buried alongside him to be his spiritual sword in afterlife. He holds a grudge for being stored aside for a long time even though it was in order for him to gain strong spiritual powers.
