DTM72 Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 Was curious as to if there were ever anysmiths in Okinawa. Was there even a need for them there? Prior to WWII I never read of any great samurai battles there. My mind wanders to odd places sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoTanuki yokai Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 I think there is only one that went there recently from somewhere that starts with an S. (With Chika in his signature but forgot what else )In the past I think it was too hard to get the Tamahaghane there also I think it was too far away from the battlefields.
