dude thats super kool! thank you! im curious when i was in hajuku i went to the samurai sword museum and the guy did a demonstration dressed up like a warrior and i asked him if he had his own sword and he said he would go to jail if he had one. what are the procedures to owning like a family blade or a sword of your own?江村作 Emura-saku

Ooops! My bad.江村作 Emura-saku

There are no procedures - just buy from a sword shop, or buy online. There is no law against owning an antique sword. The sword must be registered. Any sword from a shop will already be registered, so the purchaser doesn't have to do anything but buy the sword. It is not illegal to own an antique sword in Japan. Swords from the war are not considered antiques or "art swords", and are classified as weapons, and these swords are not allowed to be owned or bought/sold, unless they were made by traditional methods using traditional materials. In other words, factory-made swords are not allowed to be owned. But the rules on this are becoming very lax. You often find WW2-era factory-made swords for sale on the internet. (These are generally looked down upon by sword aficionados.) This is why the sword book you got is essential, because it should point you to quality swords.what are the procedures to owning like a family blade or a sword of your own?

Yasutsugu Namban tetsu wo motte
Bushū Edo ni oite kore wo tsukuru
Yasutsugu made this (sword) using imported iron in Edo, Musashi Province.
Thus, the name of the swordsmith is Yasutsugu. I can't judge if it's genuine or not, though.
