Kenshin
Rurouni Kenshin is the tale of a samurai assassin who sought repentance for his old deeds by helping Japanese people. Created by Nobuhiro Watsuki, a Japanese manga artist, the Rurouni Kenshin ran in Weekly Shōnen Jump from 1994 to 1999. The serialised manga was later turned into tankōbon and more condensed kanzenban volumes.
The animated TV series Rurouni Kenshin premiered in early 1996. Over the years, several original video animation films were released, including Trust & Betrayal, Reflection, and New Kyoto Arc, much to the delight of fans. Rurouni Kenshin fans have also enjoyed four live-action adventure films of their favourite samurai under the prestigious banner of Warner Bros. Pictures.
Rurouni Kenshin follows the path of Kenshin Himura, who fought in the fierce Boshin Wars as Hitokiri Battōsai, a deadly assassin. After the end of the wars, he became a wandering swordsman; on a path to repent for all the lives he had taken before. He wields the infamous sakabato katana, which has a reverse blade on the inside edge of the sword so that his sword does not bring harm to anyone.
The collectables from the Rurouni Kenshin series are perfect for honouring the noble samurai. These impressive pieces of art range from character figurines to the iconic katanas used by the warriors. The high-quality collectable figures of Kenshin Himura and Makoto Shishio wearing their signature costumes and postures are the most popular among the fans.
The collectable reverse katana wielded by Kenshin Himura is, without a doubt, the best-received weapon from the manga series. Due to its high demand, the reverse katana is available in steel-metal and wooden blades. The steel katana is hand-made and is the perfect replica of Kenshin’s original sword. Featuring a double-pegged edge and a premium black lacquer scabbard, the dull-edged collectable katana is perfect as an impressive decoration piece. People looking for a reverse katana to add to a cosplay costume should opt for the lightweight wooden blade replica, which also features all the signature features of the original and can be carried around all day without any discomfort.
