Nikkō Ichimonji, National Treasure tachi sword at Fukuoka City Museum, Japan
The Nikkō Ichimonji measures 87.26 centimeters in length and features a broad blade with intricate patterns characteristic of Kamakura period craftsmanship.
The tachi passed from the Hojo clan to the Kuroda family in 1590 during the siege of Odawara Castle as a diplomatic gift.
The sword exemplifies the metalworking techniques of the Fukuoka Ichimonji school, known for marking blades with a single horizontal line instead of signatures.
Visitors can view this National Treasure at the Fukuoka City Museum during special exhibitions, typically scheduled in February each year.
The sword retains its original grape-motif lacquered scabbard, which has also received National Treasure designation as an accompanying artifact.
