	The Battle Blade - The Yashima Family of katana swords - From Last Legend Competition Blades
		First off, the battle geometry is NOT designed for non martial artists to replay their favorite samurai movie.
		They are Keicho Shinto style blades with some koshizori, with masame hada in the folded blades, full niku, a significant taper from machi to yokote, and a longer chu kissaki.
		This free warranty will be in effect as long as Last Legend is producing katanas, or until the founder of the company dies or retires, because we doubt that a new CEO would be this generous--certainly no other sword company is.

		It lasted from 1582 to his death in 1598, or (according to some scholars) until Tokugawa Ieyasu seized power after the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600.
		Unsatisfied, in 1596 Hideyoshi unwisely attempted to invade Korea again in the Battle of Keicho[?] (慶長の役).
		This futile war caused the government led by another son, who succeeded him as regent, to collapse and be taken over by Tokugawa Ieyasu.

		During Battle of Keicho, he led the reinforcement to rescue Ulsan Castle from Ming army.

		Afterward, he also had a success in the siege of Sawayama held by Mitsunari's father Ishida Masatsugu and gained Bizen and Mimasaka for a total of 550,000 koku.

		Although he recovered and suffered no long term physically debilitating effects from the disease, the disease did cause him to lose the sight in his right eye (that’s why he seems to be winking in many of his depictions).
		This battle was one of the largest land battles ever fought on Japanese soil.
		Tokugawa won this battle more through treachery than good generalship - as halfway through the battle 4 daimyo who had allied themselves with the opposing "Western Faction" defected to Tokugawa’s “Eastern Faction.” The subsequent surprise assault of their men on the Western Faction led to a total rout of the Western army.

		In the battles that took place near them, they usually joined the side that appeared most likely to win or was related to them by family.
		Typically, as was the case in the battles in the Kinki region, professional soldiers fought alongside farmers and craftsmen who, though lacking in quality armor and weaponry, were nonetheless efficient fighters.
		Both had acquired considerable fame for their performances in battles and duels, leading to speculation as to which of the two was better: a question, it ap- peared, to be answered in a dramatic showdown arranged to take place within the walls of the Hozoin Temple in 1562.

		At the second battle of Uji in 1184 two samurai vied for the honour of being the first to swim his horse across the river and into action, which one won by telling the other that his saddle girth was loose.
		The result of these different traditions was that the battle of Cerignola in 1503, where volleys of European arquebuses pierced knightly armour for the first time, was effectively a repeat of the Crécy and Agincourt experience using stronger weapons of offence and defence.

	NIHONTO.COM:ABOUT SWORDS
		The Keicho Era started in 1596 and swords made before this time are called Koto while those made after this time are called Shinto.
		There is a great significance in fixing Keicho as the transition period, and the distinction should not be made merely on the basis of whether the swords are older than that period or not.
		The distinction is based not only on the changes in style and appearance of the swords, but also on some fundamental and substantial social and historical changes that were occurring at the time.
