Jade Katana

The blade was found buried in a tree like creature within Kuroi Mori. It was claimed by Akodo Asahi, but after their departure from the group a two months later. It is currently, as of the 15th of Rooster in 1123, in the stewardship of Kitsuki Donoha. Another interesting note is a cat follows whomever carries the blade. It appears to understand language but does not speak itself. The cat’s name is Kitagawa.

On the 7th of Dog in 1123 Kitagawa the cat was restored to their true form of a Kuni Witch Hunter, Kuni Shirai.
