About this book
The title page of A Muramasa blade calls it a story of feudalism in Old Japan and carries the line The Sword is the Soul of the Samurai. A chapter says that ten years had elapsed since Mutto and his son had first come to Kuwana, and that the great struggle so long impending was now fairly breaking out. The text says that Nitta, although always ready to support the Hōjō chiefs against rivals, or even in schemes of personal aggrandizement, had no wish to fight against the supporters of the Mikado.
The text says Mutto fainted and, in falling, struck his head against one of the wooden pillars, and that it was hours before he recovered and his face showed a remarkable change, with no trace left on it of bitterness, of gloom, or of dejection. The text describes a place with numberless tools and instruments with sharp edges and bright surfaces glistening in the glare of the flame, and with tubs, some containing liquid which looked black as tar but shone red as blood when the firelight fell upon it.
