	Sengo Muramasa
		In this, Muramasa was particularly skilled because a smith differs from a painter with a brush, in that the smith has to guide the hamon in the way that a tugboat would guide a freighter.
		Muramasa's hamon also shows the influence of the Soshu den, and his overall style is thought to be a mix of Soshu and Mino.
		While it is the general consensus that there were at least three Muramasa, with the Nidai being the most skilled and famous, Fujishiro writes in favor of the first of the line and the second of the line to be one generation working over the course of 50 years.

		The Muramasa is also exceptionally light for a notebook - just 1.3kg - due partly to the use of aluminium and magnesium in its chassis.
		Once we stopped gaping in awe at the Muramasa, we were struck by its lack of drives.
		This notebook is limited to using office applications and browsing the internet, which means that Sharp is relying on the Muramasa's design.

		The Muramasa's value for money is more disappointing at £1,599, especially when you add on the £250 for the CD-ROM and port bar, and this is enough to prevent us from giving this notebook an award.

		Named after a legendary Japanese swordsmith, the PC-UM10 Muramasa from Sharp is one of the thinnest notebooks currently available, and has been designed to compete with Sony's Vaio range.
		The Sharp PC-UM10 Muramasa certainly is the thinnest and one of the lightest notebooks around at the moment.
		It performs adequately and has a very reasonable battery life, but the lack of connectivity due to the thinness of the design and the additional cost of the floppy and CD-ROM drives may put some people off.
