Several fans have thus welcomed the popularity of the series to propose brilliant manifestations of creativity.
Although success often brings with it controversy, including the recent controversy over allegations of sexism, it is true that the jewel of Koyoharu Gotouge triggered a whole series of splendid initiatives. Paul Martin, an expert in Japanese swords who even curated the Japanese section of the British Museum, in addition to being recognized as a specialist also by the Ministry of Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism in Japan, tried to reconstruct Tanjiro’s katana.
His work, done together with a local Japanese craftsman, has been recorded in full from the creation of the koshirae (sheath) to the Tsuba (guard), without forgetting the Tsuka (handle) up to the blade.
