From my last visit to the Mori Art Museum in Roppongi. I wish I had more detailed photographs, but thought this might be worth sharing. The board is rotating my photo of the description – sorry about that.

Yes, I'm curious about how the iron from the meteorite was mixed with the tamahagane. There's obviously no way a meteorite provided enough iron for the entire blade given how much of the starting material is eliminated during forging, etc.

 

Who knows... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
