Duel of a Lifetime for Two Swordsmiths - Part 1

(A tale from Umeji’s copy of 'Myths of Japan', compiled by Shitani Daisuke)

How far would you go to be the greatest sword maker of all time?

It may seem absurd for two of Japan’s most famous swordsmiths Goro Nyuudou Masamune (五郎入道正宗) and Sengo Muramasa (千子村正) born in different centuries to have known each other. But when one crosses into the spirit realm, what was impossible may no longer be so.

The world of Liminal Chronicles brings in and builds on Japanese mythology and folklore.

Departures from Folklore and Culture describes where the author has chosen to deviate from real world Japan to create Liminal Chronicles.
