Talk:Kiku Ichimonji/Origin/@comment-24951086-20160613041638

There is actually a debate on rather or not Kiku Ichimonji was actually a sword of Okita Soji. If we're talking in terms of time periods, Okita's first sword would have been a Kiyomitsu set, specifically Kashuu Kiyomitsu. Kiku Ichimonji was made by (in this case) Norimune and would have sold for a rather high price. It would probably have to be gifted by a very wealthy benefactor. The other side is that Kiku Ichimonji wasn't his second sword, but Yamato-no-kami Yasusada. This sword would have still fetched a pretty high price, but definitely not as much as Kiku. Okita's sister, Mitsu, was carrying the sword after he died, but lost it after forgetting it on a ride.
