The Kirimaru Guozuo, famous things, the Sanri Moon Sect is close, the Shouzhumaru Hengji and the Boy Chiaki Angun are the ones who have been judged by the Japanese themselves, and the five famous swords in the world!
The one that appeared in front of Jin Muchen first was the Three Sun Moon Sect, among the five famous swords in the world!
The status of this knife in the history of Japanese swords is not lower than that of the Chrysanthemum-word sect that Jin Muchen had obtained, and the pear, mother-of-pearl, gold decorative sword that he had just obtained before.
The Juyi Wenzi and the Pear Mother-of-pearl Gold Decorative Sword, these two treasure knives have more decorative functions than practical functions, and are also some Japanese knives with higher symbolic meanings.
These three sun and moon sects are one of the pioneering works of the practical Japanese sword. The production of this knife is very long, and the specific time should be in the Heian era from the end of the 11th century to the early 12th century.
It was the production of swords in Japan at that time. From the shape of the Tang sword, it was derived from the originator of the Japanese swords.
If the pear, mother-of-pearl gold decorative sword is a representative of the transformation and production of Japanese decorative swords, then this Sanri Moon Sect is a representative work of the transformation of Japanese swords.
And if we talk about the status of the world, the status of this knife and the decorative sword of the pear, ground, mother-of-pearl, gold, have been debated endlessly.
Although the pear, mother-of-pearl and gold decorative sword was not rated as the five famous swords in Japan.
But after all, that is an ornamental instrument. You should know that in antiques, all ornamental instruments are of higher value than practical instruments.
What's more, the sword is so exquisitely crafted? Moreover, its reputation is far higher than that of the Three Sun Moon Sect until 8 years before Yonglu.
In the eyes of those Japanese craftsmen, the famous Sanri Moon Sect is much bigger than the pear, mother-of-pearl gold decorative sword, because in the eyes of those who cast weapons, the knife is a weapon to kill people. A weapon that can kill people is of course much more valuable than the ornamental sword that is not useful.
So, the status of these two treasure swords in the same era is higher and lower, in the Japanese sword world, but there has been no conclusion.
If we talk about the recent era of this Three Sun Moon Sect, it is actually much earlier than the pear, mother-of-pearl, gold decorative sword, and at least it is more than ten or twenty years earlier than the sword.
But why, in history, the decorative sword of the pear, mother-of-pearl gold, is called the representative of the transformation of Japanese swords, rather than this knife?
The reason is very simple, but it is because this knife was always unknown at the beginning of its birth, because most of the swords used by Japanese samurai were derived from the straight swords of Tang swords.
This knife with the curve of Japanese swords in later generations was completely an alien in the eyes of those samurai, so not many people were willing to use this knife, so the reputation of this knife has never been very high.
In addition, the Japanese sword-casting masters at that time were not a noble industry. Even the name of the sword-casting masters was not recorded in history.
So even now, people have not been able to figure out the name of the maker of this knife.
When this knife was first made, its original name should have been called Sanzhao Zongjin. According to the rules at that time, these Sanzhao Zongjin should be the name of the craftsman who cast this treasure island.
But there have been many debates about this point until now. The only thing that Japanese archaeologists can confirm is that the last two words of the name of the craftsman who cast this knife at that time were called Zong Jin.
However, it is still impossible to determine whether the previous three are the surnames of this sect.
Because the sword-casting masters in that era were a cheap career. Unlike the later period of the Japanese sword prosperity, famous sword-casting masters could not only leave their own names on the sword, or randomly name their own swords, but also keep their name in history.
At the end of the 11th century, the sword-casting masters could not even be considered an industry. At that time, they were just divided into a group of more special people among blacksmiths.
Therefore, many Japanese historians believe that this treasure sword, whose original name was Sanjo Sect, was actually cast in a smelting factory called Sanjo near Kyoto at that time, and the master of the sword casting was named Sanjo Sect, so it was named Sanjo Sect.
There are just a few doubts that in the Japanese archaeological world, it is a debate.
After these three zodiacs were forged, they have been kept in the arsenal of Kyoto. Later, after entering the Kamakura era, the Ashikaga family became the shogun, and this knife became the collection of the Ashikaga family.
Later, after this style of Japanese sword began to become popular in Japan, the Ashikaga family remembered that in their arsenal, there was another Japanese sword made like this hundreds of years ago, so they found this sword and became the favorite of the generals of the Ashikaga family in history.
The reason why this knife became famous in Japan was in the 8th year of Echinho, that is, 1565 AD. At that time, the Kamakura Shogunate had reached its end and was very unpopular.
At that time, a Japanese samurai Matsushita joined forces with the three men of Miyo to assassinate the shogun at that time.
They successfully ambushed and attacked the general Ashikaga Yoshiki at Nijo Imperial Station, which is the famous Nagao change in Japanese history.
At that time, the shogunate general Ashikaga Yoshiki was waving this handful of the Three Sun Moon Sect and fighting bravely with the assassins. Of course, although this general was very brave, he was defeated by a group of wolves. In addition, he had carefully planned it, but in the end he could not escape the bad luck and was eventually chopped off his head.
This Sanhi Moon Sect became a spoil after the war and was passed to Miyoshi Masaya, one of the ten warriors of Sanada who participated in the assassination.
Later, Miyoshi Masayasu flattered the knife and gave it to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, becoming the property of Toyotomi Hideyoshi Masamoto Takataeyuan.
Later, the knife was given to Tokugawa Hidetachi, the son of Tokugawa Ieyasu, and was collected by Tokugawa General's family.
It was also after the Yonglu Incident that the Three Sun Moon Sect became truly famous all over the world. Later, after verification, people realized that, oh, it turned out that our ancestors could have made such Japanese swords hundreds of years before the Japanese sword that were more popular than now!
Therefore, this knife has become a transcendent in Japanese swords, especially practical Japanese swords.
When it comes to the quality of this Japanese knife, it is actually far inferior to the finest products that were cast in later generations after the Japanese knife was truly formed.
Because this knife does not have all the chrysanthemum patterns on the Japanese swords, the reason for this is that when the knife was cast, the quenching technology was not up to standard and was immature.
Therefore, the sword-casting master at that time, Zong Jin used the crescent moon pattern to create treasure swords, and in the treatment of knife patterns, he mostly used the technique of creating double blades like parallel lines.
So although this knife has a unique status, if it comes to quality, it will definitely not be as good as the Japanese swords that have been tempered and refined in later generations.
Jin Muchen had already collected two famous ornamental swords in Japanese history in a row, but now he finally got a famous practical sword, and it was also a famous sword that was one of the five famous swords in the world that the Japanese themselves judged, which made Jin Muchen feel very satisfied.
After putting away the treasure knife, Jin Muchen continued to walk back because the famous Japanese swords collected in the Tokyo National Museum were far more than these two.
Behind this Three Sun Moon Sect is another famous sword in the world that the Japanese have judged themselves: Boy Cheung has an An Gang!
The five famous swords in the world that the Japanese themselves judged were able to see the second one in this museum today, which is a huge luck.
You should know that when I came here to check in the day before yesterday, this knife had not been taken out for exhibition. Jin Muchen felt quite regretful at that time.
Unexpectedly, I was taken out today and combined with the San Sun Moon Sect's two swords, and was taken out for exhibition together.
This is really a blessing. You must know that these five famous swords in Japan are all famous swords in Japan.
Even though the Tokyo National Museum is powerful and has strong financial resources, it has only found two of these five treasure swords.
There are three other ones, among which Kirimaru Kyutsu, don't need to think about it. This knife is now collected by the Japanese imperial family and cannot be seen even if you want to.
In addition, the ceremony is now collected by the Maeda Yutoku Club in Japan. It is not easy to show it to others, even if you want to see it, you can't see it.
The third bead maru is now collected by the Honkyu Temple in Ahrasaki, and is also listed as a "high treasure" by the temple. It is also not easy to show it to others. Even if you have money, ordinary people may not be able to see it. Unless they are famous Japanese politicians or royal relatives, they will have the chance to see what the sword looks like.
Therefore, these three Sun and Moon Sects are close to each other, and they are the only one of the five famous swords in Japan that ordinary people often see.
Because these two knives are collected by the Tokyo National Museum, they are often taken out for display, but the Tokyo National Museum is also very stunning.
They usually don't show these two famous knives at the same time, but they only take out one of them for display at different times.
It is quite difficult for you to see two treasure knives at the same time and exhibit them at the same time. Unless one day the people in the museum have a whim, they will take out the two treasure knives for display at the same time.
However, this experience has been very rare since the collection of two knives at the National Museum of Tokyo. So far, the number of times these two knives has been exhibited on the same stage has been less than ten times.
