Grand Spear Nihon-go

This is a precious and extravagant spear which has a relief of the grand dragon，the incarnation of a B uddhism deity，on its blade that is about 80cm long and its hilt is covered with mother-of-pearl inlay. It is said that Tahei Mori，a vassal of the Kuroda family， was given this spear by Masanori Fukushima，a w arlord，in return of drinking up from a huge vessel. It is a famous episode that is applied to "Kurodabushi，" a folk song.
