Japanese swords
The game/anime franchise about anthropomorphized Japanese swords is offering a chance to see some real ones.
This mythical sword with non-melting abilities will kill your thirst and replenish your spirit.
These necklaces not only look extremely chic, but subtly show one’s love of the gorgeous swords/men from Touken Ranbu
Forging a katana is extremely labor intensive, but it all comes together with a swift dunk in water to cool.
The final item in the Evangelion x Japanese Sword doll series looks awesome…and she’ll cut you if you disagree.
Like many other things in life, the challenges in cosplay can never be fully understood until you’ve experienced it first hand. As we’ve previously seen, there is much more than meets the eye when cosplayers and photographers are striving to get the perfect shot. Sometimes it can even be a chore just to put on the costume and keep it from falling apart, as some Touken Ranbu cosplayers have realized.
If you or your friends are planning to cosplay as Touken Ranbu characters, these tweets from Japanese cosplayers who have been there and done that could probably give you a heads up on what to expect!
On Yahoo Shopping, a site famous for its oodles of unique merchandise, an ornamental sword is attracting a lot of attention. It’s called the “Whale Sword” and it’s a model of a style of ornamental sword used in the pre-war days, with a blade close to a meter long. Who wouldn’t want that in their stocking?
