Original (Amakuni)Amakuni

This original figure is produced by Amakuni, a manufacturer whose name draws inspiration from the legendary swordsmith Amakuni Yasutsuna. The figure represents an original creation rather than a character from a specific franchise. Amakuni Yasutsuna is a legendary figure in Japanese swordsmithing history, said to have lived around 700 AD in Yamato Province. According to legend, after watching Emperor's warriors return from battle with broken swords, Amakuni vowed to create a blade that would not break. He and his son Amakura sealed themselves in their forge, prayed for seven days and nights, and emerged with the first single-edged curved sword (tachi). Legend attributes the famous Kogarasu Maru to him, though no signed works survive. The tale holds that Amakuni gained immortality from the blood shed by the blades he created. The figure is crafted by Amakuni, a manufacturer known for producing high-quality collectible figures often distributed through Hobby Japan and Ami Ami exclusive channels.
