Murata-tou

The Murata-tou is a Kissaki-Moroha-Zukuri style double-edged nihonto katana made in the Tokyo Armory by General Murata (inventor of the Murata Rifle) during the Meiji Era. It is owned by Souichiro Takagi until he gives it to Saeko Busujima as a gift for protecting his daughter Saya Takagi and as an exchange for the Kendo/Iaido training he received from Saeko's father in the past. Saeko uses the sword in place of her bokken and the katana Takashi finds in the shrine after recieving it from Souichiro at the Takagi Estate.
