| Topic | What do you think happened to the Honjo Masamune? |
| YoshitoKikuchi 09/01/17 7:15:46 PM #1: | The Honjo Masamune[5] represented the Shogunate during most of the Edo period and had been passed down from one Shogun to another. It is one of the best known of the swords created by Masamune and is believed to be one of the finest Japanese swords ever made. Apparently Tokugawa Iemasa gave the Honjo Masamune and 14 other swords to a police station at Mejiro in December 1945. Shortly thereafter in January 1946, the Mejiro police gave these swords to a man identified as "Sgt. Coldy Bimore" (possibly a garbled phonetic spelling of the man's name) of the Foreign Liquidations Commission of AFWESPAC (Army Forces, Western Pacific). In an episode of Expedition Unknown, Josh Gates traveled to Japan in search of the Honjo Masamune,[10] and learned that there were no records of a "Sgt. Coldy Bimore" listed to have received the sword. The Honjo Masamune is the most important of the missing Japanese swords and its current location remains unknown.[11] --- Dont be ridiculous.
