I think it is great to see that swords are still seen as diplomatic gifts and of importance. As are kabuto.
And wow....he gave a Muramasa back in September? I bet that sword has a tale to tell.
Nice light hearted article to enjoy.

I knew of a Muramasa gifted to Russia a long time ago. I'm not sure if that was the one and only time that happened. I had intented to, if I ever were to meet Putin, ask him to show it to me but I guess now I'll have to find a different conversation starter:laughing:

 

Great to see it returned though, that's one amazing sword from what I remember about it.
