O'Ren Ishii's Katana

Description

"...but you can at least die like a samurai."

This is O'Ren Ishii's (a.k.a. Cottonmouth) Katana from the Kill Bill movie.

O'Ren had the Crazy 88's Yakuza gang as her personal bodyguard and apparently didn't need to use her sword much, so she carried it in a beautiful Shirasaya mounting. This type of mounting was traditionally used to transport or store blades when they were not going to be used for a period of time, and is distinctive because of the lack of Tsuba (the hand guard between the hilt and the blade).
