The Tachi Meiji Samurai sword is a high quality replica reproduction of the original held in the Marto private collection that dates back to the Meiji age, starting with the imperial power restoration in 1868. The scabbard and the handgrip are made in ivory like resin, finely engraved with mythological scenes which mainly depict dragons. The scabbard is also provided with two hanger rings used to carry the sword suspended with the cutting edge toward the ground, a modality known as "jindachi zukuri", opposed to the "buke zukuri", instead the typical way of carrying a katana, that is with the blade toward the sky. The Sword of the Gods by Marto , is inspired by legend. Once upon a time, the Sun wanted to create a nation that was different from all other nations. So the Sun took a beam of its own sun rays, and shaped a beautiful woman, and named her Amaterasu, "that which illuminates heaven" , Goddess of the Sun and mother of the new nation: Japan. Marto, has designed this exclusive sword, that gathers all the symbols and images of this fantastic story. This sword is the beginning of the Bushido Collection (the way of the warrior).
