For this task, Kira, who held the highest rank in protocol, was responsible for training and teaching etiquette to Asano and others. A dislike quickly developed between Lord Asano and Kira, with the master insulting his student at every opportunity. No longer able to contain himself, Asano drew his sword on Kira, wounding him in the attack. This act led to Asano's ordered suicide ( \u003ci\u003eseppuku\u003c\/i\u003e ) and the confiscation of his possessions. On December 14, 1702, one year after Asano's death, 47 of his men (now \u003ci\u003eronin\u003c\/i\u003e ) marched toward Kira's mansion seeking revenge. After a fierce battle, the victorious ronin demanded \u003ci\u003eseppuku\u003c\/i\u003e from Kira to atone for his transgressions against his former master. When he refused, he was executed. The \u003ci\u003eronin\u003c\/i\u003e themselves were sentenced to \u003ci\u003eseppuku\u003c\/i\u003e for their actions. They were buried together at Sengakuji, offering an image of the samurai's true loyalty.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaul Chen’s Ronin Koshirae Katana reflects the spirit of Lord Asano’s 47 Ronin. The Ronin Katana’s blackened iron \u003ci\u003etsuba\u003c\/i\u003e represents Lord Asano’s companions on his vengeful march. The blade is hand-forged from Swedish powdered steel (K120C) and folded with \u003ci\u003ehi\u003c\/i\u003e in the traditional \u003ci\u003eshinogi zukuri\u003c\/i\u003e form. To protect the sword, each katana comes with a matching cloth sheath and a Japanese sword care kit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e From hanwei.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Folded carbon steel blade\u003cbr\u003e - Authentic construction\u003cbr\u003e - High quality accessories\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Blade material: carbon steel\u003cbr\u003e - Total length: approx. 102.9cm\u003cbr\u003e - Blade length: approx. 72.4 cm\u003cbr\u003e - Handle length: approx.\u003cbr\u003e - Weight: approx. 1106 g\u003cbr\u003e - Blade width at guard: approx. 3.1 cm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Manufacturer's item number: sh2360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The above specifications may vary slightly from specimen to specimen.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003eTienda Medieval,\u003c\/strong\u003e we have thousands of medieval and other period products.
