The samurai sword is the symbol of the spirit of Japan. It is the embodiment of bushido, the samurai code—the expression of steel discipline, unswerving devotion, and peerless skill.

It is an outstanding example of highly-skilled traditional craftsmanship. The product of the tireless efforts of hereditary artisans, whose sole purpose in life is the achievement of perfection in their craft, the sword is a beautiful work of art as well as a formidable weapon.

The sword is not merely a symbol of power or object of admiration, however. Depend completely on it and identify very closely with it.
