Drscription
Regarding the reason why Muramasa was said to be a sword cursed by the Tokugawa family, according to the official record of the Tokugawa shogun family, ``Tokugawa Jikki'', Ieyasu's grandfather, Kiyoyasu Matsudaira, killed his vassals with Muramasa's sword in 1535. Muramasa was also the sword that helped Ieyasu's eldest son Nobuyasu, who was forced to commit seppuku after his father Hirotada was stabbed by Muramasa's armpit finger by a mad vassal, and who was suspected of being an insider by Nobunaga.
In addition, when Ieyasu himself received a report of his military exploits from Nobunaga's nephew Nagataka, he injured his hand while inspecting Muramasa's spear, and it is said that he suffered a series of misfortunes, and Muramasa cursed the Tokugawa family. It became widely recognized as a witch sword.
The first Muramasa is said to have moved from Mino to Kuwana, Ise Province, at the gate of Mino Akasaka Kanemura or Seki Kaneharu.The oldest surviving Muramasa 1st generation is in 1501, and it has been handed down from generation to generation. The Fujimasa inscription is said to have been a pun by Muramasa, combining the word "mura" (village) with "purple" and referring to wisteria as a purple flower. It is a rare specimen with only a few known to exist. This sword is a large, tanto (short sword) measuring exactly 1 shaku.
