Markdd Posted April 12, 2021 Report Posted April 12, 2021 Hi, Well after the death of Prince Philip I was wondering if the British Royal family had any Japanese swords presented to them ,As he was in Tokyo Bay for the surrender and possibly the only Royal there I was wondering if he was presented one there ?or any others that have been given over the years to them? Perhaps they have the Honjo Masamune. I always find this photo of the surrender fascinating Mark Quote
Gakusee Posted April 12, 2021 Report Posted April 12, 2021 They do have Japanese swords and they are displayed in various places - Tower of London, their castles including Windsor, etc etc Quote

Geraint Posted April 12, 2021 Report Posted April 12, 2021 Just to add, there is a kaigunto preserved at Dartmouth Royal Naval college, presented by Lord Louis Mountbatten. All the best. 1 Quote
