Mikazuki Munechika (三日月宗近; Literally meaning "Crescent Moon near the Centre") is the name of a famous Japanese sword created by the famous Heian-period swordsmith Sanjō Munechika (三条宗近). Do a Google image search for "三日月宗近" and you'll see how ridiculously beautiful and immaculate this ancient sword still looks. It's considered to be one of the (天下五剣, Tenka Goken), a group of five famous swords that gained their fame during the Muromachi period. This group also includes:


 * the Dōjigiri (童子切; Literally meaning "Boy Cutter") by Yasutsuna (安綱);
 * the Onimaru (鬼丸; Literally meaning "Demon Circle") by Awataguchi Kunitsuna (粟田口国綱);
 * the Ōtenta (大典太; Literally meaning "Great Law Plump") by Mitsuyo (光世);
 * and the Juzumaru (数珠丸; Literally meaning "Rosary Circle") by Aoe Tsunetsugu (青江恒次).

Thank you, Shounensuki!
