smith, K~akagawa Shichiyemon-no-jo
Yuklhane, who died in the year of the

the wonderful ~adornments of the hilt,
guard and scabbard OF the Japanese
swords which appeal. But to the con
noisseur 1t is the blade itself. For the
Japanese swords excelled the finest
products OF Damascus of Toledo, and
the great smiths were a hereditary
caste, who forged their blades with
secret and immemorial religious rites.
This blade was the living soul of the
samurai." The finest blades were made
OF soft magnetic iron, with a hard steel
edge, which was tempered in cold
water while the softer backing was
surrounded with fire clay.
