Best Deals

Tophatter's makes every effort to have the lowest price on the internet for daily deals on the day they are offered for sale. This means that you will not find a lower price anywhere from a valid seller with an identical product. It is possible, on occasion, that you may find a lower price for the same thing on an eBay listing, but they are often used and we can't gauge the quality of the company or their service, so we don't even try to compare our product prices to them. We often list the "Retail Price" of an item for comparison purposes. This is typically the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price or MSRP. Products are sold below MSRP in many instances, especially watches and jewelry. On the other hand, many of the top brands often don't allow any discounting from MSRP by their retailers except in special situations. Tophatter's does not attempt to portray the "Street Value" of an item. The street value fluctuates too much to effectively follow and there is no standard on which to base this price. You can get estimates of the price an item typically sells for elsewhere, on sites like Google Shopping or Amazon.com. Most of the time, however, Tophatter's will have the best price, and usually by a generous margin.

Background of Kogitsunemaru

The Kogitsunemaru sword, forged in 989 CE by the renowned blacksmith Sanjo Munechika, holds a unique and mystical place in Japanese history. According to legend, Munechika encountered a mysterious boy near the Fushimi Inari gate who was believed to be the fox deity Inari. After praying at the shrine, the boy, with his extraordinary skill, assisted Munechika in forging the sword, which became his greatest masterwork. In honor of the deity's assistance, Munechika named the sword 'Kogitsunemaru' (kogitsune meaning little fox).

Throughout its history, Kogitsunemaru has been celebrated not only for its superior craftsmanship but also for its divine origins. The sword was cherished by various samurai and noble families, symbolizing the harmonious blend of human skill and divine intervention. Its mystical background and the legend of the fox deity have made Kogitsunemaru a revered artifact, embodying the spirit and cultural heritage of Japan.

In the game and anime series Touken Ranbu, players assume the role of a sage (審神者, saniwa) who travels into the past to defeat evil forces and has the ability to animate legendary swords, depicted as attractive young men. The character of Kogitsunemaru is inspired by the legendary sword believed to be the one from the song 'Kokaji.' In the game, Kogitsunemaru takes human form, embodying both elegance and strength, with a manner of addressing the saniwa as 'nushi-sama,' a term traditionally used by a woman towards a man she is intimately familiar with. Several swords named Kogitsunemaru exist, including one enshrined at Ishikiri-Tsurugiya Shrine and another belonging to Shingen Takeda. Kogitsunemaru's design and personality reflect the rich history and mystical origins of the sword, blending historical accuracy with creative interpretation. Notably, he requires half the resources to repair compared to other Tachis, highlighting his unique attributes within the game. His crest, the Kujou clan crest, references the legend of Tsunenori Kujou cutting lightning with a blade called Kogitsunemaru.
