No, this blade is from modern folded steel, not from oroshigane.

[Musashi 38]

and why this steel is so blackish? is it an effect due to the camera or...?

I think that it is caused by the camera settings but Iam not sure...  Btw- our Token president said, that we are going to make a plan for a trip to Italy next year  He is interested in the japanese section of the Bargello Museum and of course interested in members of Itaria Nihont Token Kyokai  So i would like to know if that japenese section with Yoshihara sword is permanent all the time over the year, or it is somehow limited ??

It's permanent forever.

You and your president can be very interested also in the occidental swords and weapons of that hall of the museum.

I think you must ask a confirmation before visiting.

That is great.... our president is very interested in that section. We would like to make our trip to Italy as much effective as it can be... We would like to see the museum and of course to meet and cooperate with your members and representatives. It is also a case of planning, when and how we are going to visit your country. I think it will be somewhere in the second quarter of the year. It depens on our other activities and of course on your 2008 activity plan.
