DMM’s popular web game and mobile game Touken Ranbu (刀剣乱舞) will be having a new sword soon. A teaser picture of the sword has been released, revealing the sword’s Kamon (family emblem).
According to the emblem and the costume, fans suspect that it is the short sword from the Mori clan, Mori Toshiro (毛利藤四郎). The Mori clan is the descendant of the Hiromoto family that dates back to Kamakura period (1185–1333).
Originally owned by Mori Terumoto, Mori Toshiro has a 26.5 cm long blade and was made by Toshiro Yoshimitsu like the other Toshiro swords. It was also once kept by Tokugawa Ieyasu and Ikeda Terumasa. Currently, the sword is being displayed at Tokyo National Museum.
