They were band to every samurai on orders of Tokugawa Leyasu of The Tokugawa Shogunate in 1603. Band for personal reasons not for the quality of the blades they were very rare and many tried to get originals only to find forgeries.

Kind of a long ass post but i'm a history geek on the low low and when the name Muramasa came in it was jus a big pat on the back for me. Thanks to my history teacher in highschool for introduce'n me to japanese culture and history which we see in every anime ever made.

Nice thanks for the intel.... I'm gonna read more about Muramasa Sengo sounds interesting
