It's really nice when the otaku comunity actually helps in more serious matters. It reminds me of a similar situation last year, when Shokudaikiri Mitsutada, a Date Masamune sword that was missing for a very long time was found, thanks to the growing interest of the touken ranbu enthusiasts in historical swords, also monetarily contributing to museums. Its a shame that hundreds of other famous swords, such as Horikawa Kunihiro, will never be found, since just like the original Hotarumaru, they were thrown into the ocean as part of the ''sword confiscation'' mentioned in the article.

Seeing Hotarumaru rebuild, despite it being a replica, really almost made me cry actually.
I also hope the Aso Shrine gets rebuild too, after that devastating earthquake in that area and I think with Hotarumaru being displayed afterwards might boost up the tourism there.
Shokudaikiri Mitsutada was missing, but it turns out the Tokugawa Museum had him in storage when the game came out. A lot of the Touken Ranbu fans (myself included) thought he was supposedly destroyed in the Great Kanto Earthquake, following the fire that happened. He wasn't a permanent addition to the museum at the time, until the donations came pouring in. I think the good thing about this game, besides collecting the humanized renditions of the swords, is learning about some Japanese history alongside with it. And yeah, reading about the 'sword confiscation' order that was imposed REALLY broke my heart. |
