Kusanagi

, or simply just , is a legendary sword of Japanese mythology.
According to the Susanoo myth from the Kojiki and Nihon-shoki, it is said that Susanoo-no-Mikoto, who was exiled from Takamagahara, descended upon the province of Izumo, saved Kusanadahime who was offered as a sacrifice, and exterminated an enormous monster.
That monster was Yamata-no-Orochi, a red-eyed demon with eight heads and eight tails───a gigantic snake that boasted of a length spanning eight valleys and peaks. Japan's greatest dragon of calamity. Susanoo-no-Mikoto defeated this large serpent (dragon) and obtained a divine sword from its tail. The sword's name is Kusanagi-no-Tachi. Also known as Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, Amenomurakumo-no-Tsurugi and Tsumukari-no-Tachi. Later, it was offered to the Atsuta Shrine and designated as one of the Three Sacred Treasures of Japan.
Kusanagi has many names, and Ibuki-douji implies that each name is actually a different sword.Fate/Grand Order - Ibuki-douji Max Bond Craft Essence: "Divine Sword"

 is the Noble Phantasm of Ibuki-douji.
Ibuki-douji uses this sacred sword that was inside her father's body as a Noble Phantasm.
It is such a fearsome weapon that a single swing from it upon the release of its True Name blows away eight valleys and peaks and gives birth to eight large rivers...
However, according to Ibuki-douji, this is nothing but momentarily borrowing the slightest of glitters of the divine sword. Its true value wouldn't stop at something of this level.Fate/Grand Order Ibuki-Douji Profile, translated by Konchew
