Yuruginai

Yuruginai, the Celestial Sword of the Crab, was probably the least used Celestial Sword, despite being carried by each Clan Champion since it was given.
== Crafted ==
Yuruginai was one of the eight blades commissioned by Lord Sun from the Xing Guo, the Fortune of Steel, and given to the Clan Champions. Test of the Master Smith, Prologue It was a crystal katana which strengthened its wielder. Magic of Rokugan, p. 82
== Appearance ==
Yuruginai was thicker than most of the Celestial Swords, and its handle and tsuba were intricately covered. The blade's new saya was decorated with jade inlays, enchanted to never tarnish. The blade was incredibly strong since its repair, and more than one blade (including a Kaiu Blade) had been shattered against its strength. Kaiu Tasuku, the Master Smith who fixed the blade, promised that if the blade ever broke again he would break his hammer and become a poet. Secrets of the Crab, p. 8
== O-Ushi ==
Hida O-Ushi, it's first known wielder, preferred her dai tsuchi instead. 
== Kuroda ==
O-Ushi's son Hida Kuroda used it briefly, but it was broken and later recovered by Hida Reiha, The Truest Test, by Shawn Carman Prayers and Treasures, p. 117 during the Carpenter Wall Falls in 1159. Four Winds, p. 38
== Kuon ==
The sword was repaired at the Kaiu Forge Secrets of the Crab, p. 8 for Hida Kuon when Kuroda fell to the Shadows, and even Hida Sukune, the Kagemusha, blessed it. Kuon had never wielded it, and Sukune advised that he use it to strike down his corrupted brother, in order for Kuroda's soul to be released. When Kuon faced Kuroda, in the form of the Onisu Kyofu he wielded it for first time.
