_Imagine seeing a silvery blade dancing to the music of death.Marred by the poetry of bloodA trumpet to the cries of warBut it also reflects the wielder.When looking at it, you can see yourself.But in my eyes, I can see the steel's heart.As it's in your hand, preparing to protect, it's polished until it shines like luna wildfire.In the end, I believe the true beauty of a katana comes not from the hilt or engravings, but from the steel.How many songs has it sang in our battles, can you imagine…?A katana's beauty comes from the polished steel as it's shines so brightlywith victorious prayers._
A katana ( lit. one-sided blade) is a Japanese sword characterized by a curved, single-edged blade with a circular or squared guard and long grip to accommodate two hands. Developed later than the tachi, it was used by samurai in feudal Japan and worn with the edge facing upward. Since the Muromachi period, many old tachi were cut from the root and shortened, and the blade at the root was crushed and converted into a katana.The specific term for katana in Japan is uchigatana () and the term katana () often refers to single-edged swords from around the world.
