Japanese Blades, First Period [11/30]
Mitsutada looked quite apologetic in front of the class today, perhaps a bit embarrassed at the long gap between held classes.
"I'm glad you have all made it," Mitsutada said. "In something of an attempt to make up for our unexpected long break, we will be ending this class with something quite special: visits from members of the Tenka-Goken. These are the five greatest swords ever forged in Japan, which makes them probably the greatest in all the world, though I am of course biased due to being one. I will let my guest introduce himself, and he shall share with you."
The guest smiled. He didn't really look like a fancy sword, but rather like a friendly old janitor.
"My name is Mikazuki Munechika. I'm one of the five great swords of Japan, and well, I'm also said to be the most beautiful. I was born near the end of the 11th century. I guess you can say I'm an old man. Ha ha ha," he introduced. "Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the Kengo Shogun, was my original master. He would die in battle wielding me, and claimed from his body by the Miyoshi family. From there, I would end up in the possession of Nene, the great and powerful wife of Hideyoshi Toyotomi. After Nene's death, I was presented to the Tokugawa as a gift, and remained in their possession from then on, eventually being labeled one of the National Treasures of Japan."
"I do not have as fiery of a history as some blades, and you'll have to forgive an old man for not dressing up to see you young people today, but I hope I can provide you with some knowledge you did not have before. Mitsutada has promised us tea, and we can chat while we drink," Mikazuki said.
"Yes," Mitsutada affirmed, bringing out a set of Japanese tea cups and a kettle, which he set about filling with green tea and passing them to the students and finally a cup for Mikazuki and himself. "Please, feel free to ask questions."
