專家說明

Judging from its exceptional scale, this sword is believed to be a honoto (offering sword), a special sword offered or dedicated to a shrine as a prayer for victory and good luck. Since being introduced to Japan during the Yayoi period, such sword has been treasured not only as a functional weapon but also a sacred gift to gods, or even being worshipped as gods themselves. The tradition of offering swords to shrines is still being practiced in Japan.
