On our 2nd day we visited the Japanese Sword Museum in Tokyo.
The sword in Japan represents a much more important part of their culture then swords produced and used elsewhere. What was a tool for killing, ended up becoming a symbol of authority and finally into a work of art. There is so much of what represents the Japanese Ideal that is found in the forging and presenting of these unique weapons.
