It is time for yet another dose of "laughter relief"

. Here is Japanese sword made of pucker steel

I particularly like the long description of Japan and of samurai culture as such and the ultimate evidence of the sword's originality: an inscription on the blade. Anybody can translate?

Note: the rust is so fresh it falls off the blade!
