Stll, Its abit of a fairy tale. Completely impractical. But the motivation was a western sence of romance, was it not?. Wasn't it first suggested in a newsletter/paper in the 60s/70. Its not like the Japanese families where roaming the world searching for lost part of them selves. "Important cultural assets not included in that sweeping statement" And considering that 90% of the Japanese population are not interested in nihonto and then divide that by families that can trace their families heritage to the samurai class " suggested figures are 15%". THEN who survived the war. Its very very small area of achievement or even wanting the sword back. So fairy tale
