Kage no senshi chokuto, battleblades



The Kage no Senshi Chokuto is steeped in the mysteries surrounding the existence of modern shinobi. The sword's name translates to "shadow warrior", which, along with the dark blue colour of the sageo and ito, indicates the shadows in which shinobi supposedly operate. The youngest member of the Chokutō family is characterised by an unusual o-kissaki blade tip, rarely seen on shinobi gatana. Not only does it give the blade a distinctive look, but it also makes it easier to stab with the sword. The katate maki-wrapped tsuka is decorated with custom golden dragon menukis and a kabuto gane-style kashira. Overall, the sword is more compact than the Shinobi Chokutō, as it has a slightly shorter blade and a smaller tsuba. the rikko-style tsuka, on the other hand, is 10mm longer than the shinobi chokutō for increased torque and maximum cutting power. the hand-forged, polished and sharpened hazuya t10 blade features our signature clay-hardened bright hamon. guarding the blade is a jet-black, fully custom-made saya with a unique koiguchi shape for easier insertion.



This weapon is guaranteed Battleblades quality and comes with an embroidered Battleblades silk sword bag and a certificate with serial number.



How the ninja shinobi provinces were born



To protect themselves, their homes, and their families from the constant warfare of the Sengoku period (1467-1598), the commoners now known as shinobi formed their own caste outside of the usual feudal social categories such as princes, samurai, and serfs. The stealth of the shinobi can be traced back even further, but it was not until the Sengoku period that ninja were trained specifically for their purpose: taking advantage of the constant warfare.



The Yamabushi also lived in the mountainous regions of Iga and Koga and practiced religion and inner peace. The new caste system was founded in part by them because they wanted nothing to do with the brutal war outside. The formation of their own caste system allowed the two ninja strongholds of Iga and Koga to exchange information and develop their own techniques of medicine, espionage, warfare and assassination. Both Iga and Koga were governed by a town council rather than a daimyo (ruler), making them politically and socially independent, democratic and autonomous ninja provinces. However, this era would soon come to an end when the last of the Koga ninja were deployed in the Shimabara Revolt of 1637 and the mountainous regions came under the rule of the Tokugawa Shogunate and its 300 daimyos. The Shimabara Rebellion was the largest civil war in Japan during the relatively peaceful Edo period (1603–1867). With the end of the Edo period, the Meiji Emperor and the Boshin War restored imperial rule in Japan.



Ninja weapons



During the Sengoku and Edo periods, the two ninja strongholds of Iga and Koga developed their own weapons in addition to martial arts. The preferred weapons of the ninja were the katana and straight-bladed swords such as the ninjato. There are many techniques that the ninja used with these swords, including using them as a weapon and as a means of distraction. Ninja swords were coated with a combination of red pepper and dirt on the tip of the scabbard. When the sword was drawn, the mixture was thrown into the eyes of enemies to distract them from the fatal blow.



Much is left to the imagination, as much of the information known about the national myth surrounding the ninja comes from folk tales and modern pop culture. This mystery surrounding the shinobi has led to the belief that some of them even possessed supernatural powers, such as: b. flight, invisibility, shape-shifting, the ability to split into multiple bodies, summon animals, and control the five classical elements.



The modern pop culture ninja was primarily inspired by the actor, writer, and martial artist Sho Kosugi, who made the straight-bladed ninja sword famous through his films and television shows in the 1980s. It is still debated whether a straight-bladed ninja sword with a square tsuba actually existed in feudal Japan, although it is depicted in many paintings. Myth or not, the Kage no Senshi Chokuto is an homage to the great Sho Kosugi and the ninja Tou he made popular again.
