Heshikiri Hasebe, National Treasure sword at Fukuoka City Museum, Japan
The Heshikiri Hasebe sword, measuring 98.1 centimeters in length, features a distinctive iron blade with traditional Japanese forging patterns and detailed engravings.
Created during the 14th century Nambokucho period, this uchigatana sword belonged to the Kuroda family and gained recognition as a National Treasure of Japan.
