brief introduction

Murakami is a knife with a blade length of 73.32cm. At the end of Muromachi, Tsumura, the knife maker, was regarded as a symbol of "unlucky" by the Tokugawa family because of his outstanding cutting ability, and he was dismissed as "the demon knife Tsumura Masayoshi", so he was very popular among the rebels in Changzhou at the end of the curtain. Ming Dow: Murakami.

give exact information

Murakami is one of the most famous Japanese knives in Japan. Murakami is the name of fencing handed down from generation to generation by Yi Shi from the middle of Muromachi to Tenzin. At that time, Japan entered the turbulent period of the Warring States period, and there was a great demand for Japanese knives. Although a large number of inferior swords were produced at that time because of the troubled times and the huge demand for weapons, Murakami still kept his previous style-only the best swords that could be used in actual combat were produced.

However, this is also the misfortune of Murakami, perhaps because it is too sharp. Edo period began to have the title of "evil sword" and "demon knife", which was avoided by the world. Moreover, the ominous of this knife has been confirmed in the true legend of "Tokugawa Demon Knife".

Murakami officially appeared as a knife maker in the middle of Muromachi, and has been a knife inscription for about a hundred years. Obviously, Murakami is not the name of a knife maker, which can also be distinguished by the shape and inscription of existing Murakami knives. As far as the information is concerned, at least three generations of Shi Yi knife workers have the general name Murakami. According to textual research, Shimen Yetiao is a famous Mulberry in Yi Shi, which was originally called Shimen Yetiao. The earliest existing Murakami knife made by him was made in the first year of Wengui (150 1), and the oldest Murakami knife now has the long inscription "Sang Ming in Shizhou lives in the guard house to govern the original Murakami".

Yaodao village administration

Murakami is called a demon knife, on the one hand, because it is too sharp, and many people died by Murakami's knife, but its biggest background should be the relationship between Murakami and Matsukawa. On September 15th, the seventh year of Tianzheng (1579), Tokugawa Ieyasu Di Zi Songping (Okazaki) and Saburo Xinkang committed suicide in Yuanjiang Second City. The reason is that Nobuo ODA suspects that Zhushan Temple (Nobuo main room) and Nobuo are secretly colluding with Takeda's family. In spite of his explanations to them, he ordered them to be killed. Finally, because of Nobunaga's arrogance, Nobunaga had to go against his will. At that time, Zhushan Temple was killed on August 29th.

When Xinkang cut his abdomen, it was Hattori Bankun Zhengren and Hotan Fangshan City who kept Tonggang. At that time, the specific position was that Shimada Hanzo was our time and Tong Gang was an inspector. In fact, both of them are very reluctant to undertake this task, but the fact is ruthless. When Xin Kang cut open his abdomen, all three of them were very sad, especially Shimada Hanzo. After Xin Kang cut his abdomen, he was unable to raise his knife, which made Xin Kang suffer a lot. Afterwards, they cried and reported the end of Xinkang to Konka. At this time, Konka was also very sad. Suddenly, when Tong Gang introduced the mistake, Konka asked which knife was used. Tong Gang replied that it was "Senji Muramasa, a hidden state", and Konka suddenly changed color. In fact, before Konka, two generations of Master Songping had died by the sword in the village. Konka's grandfather, Songping Qingkang, was killed by the Minister of the Interior, Akira Abe, in the fourth year of astronomy (1535). At that time, Miqilang used Murakami's knife. Later, Konka's father, Matsuhei Hiroshi, was assassinated by a confidant who also used Murakami. Although all these can be said to be coincidences, in the fifth year of Evergreen (1600), in the Guanyuan Joint War, the pike of the first son of Ueda Youlezhai accidentally injured Konka's finger, that is, the injured finger that year. Coincidentally, this pike was also made in Zhou Shi Village, which made Konka feel a sense of fear.

All the above incidents are related to Murakami and the Tokugawa family, and none of them bodes well (even Murakami's knife was used when Jun Chenyan had a laparotomy). Later, Konka decided that Murakami's knives were monsters that tortured the Tokugawa family, and ordered all Murakami's knives to be destroyed. Because of this, during the Edo period, although the swordsmen in Ishinomura were still making Japanese knives, under the pressure of the shogunate, no one dared to carry Murakami's knives openly. The former Ming Dao Murakami was also changed into an unknown Dao or the original inscription was worn off and disguised as other Dao inscriptions.

In addition, since the popular knife surgery in Edo era, we began to pay attention to judging good or ill luck from the sharpness of the knife. At that time, the peaceful atmosphere of society did not like this kind of swords and shadows in actual combat. At this time, Murakami, who is famous for his sharpness and suitability for actual combat, began to be called "demon knife" and "evil sword" for this reason. By the end of Edo, the concept that the village was a demon knife had been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

The real village is correct.

Why are all the unfortunate events related to the Tokugawa family related to Murakami? In fact, there was frequent trade between Sanming and Sanhe in Yi Shi at that time, and swords, as a specialty of Yi Shi, flowed into Sanhe in large quantities. Therefore, Murakami was widely equipped as a very practical weapon in Songping (Tokugawa), and even his bare feet were equipped with Murakami's knife. Moreover, according to the story of Sanhe, the fighting and killing rate of Sanhe samurai was quite high at that time, and even the injury rate of samurai in peacetime training was very high. As a weapon widely equipped by the Songping family, I'm afraid it's hard to get involved with Songping (after all, all the people who died by Murakami's sword in the Songping family were killed by "their own people"). It is also said that although Konka himself first put forward the theory that "the village is a demon knife", I'm afraid he didn't really believe it out of disrespect for the authority of ghosts and gods, but a series of coincidences naturally made him feel a sense of fear. Later, at the Battle of Osaka and at the end of the curtain, the expression "Tokugawa's demon knife" was used by anti-Tokugawa people, who carved the inscription "Murakami" on their swords. Among them, the famous traitor sanjsanetomi gave him a short knife and an iron fan to protect himself while praying for the curtain.
