+ | In the 15th century, his owner Hatakeyama Masanaga attempted to commit ritual suicide using him but the wound wasn't severe enough to kill him. Frustrated, he threw Yagen and he pierced straight into a medicinal stone mill -- a ''yagen''. |
Being strong enough to pierce stone but not enough to kill Masanaga led him to believe that the sword would never injure its master. From there on, Yagen gained the name of this object, and the legend that came with it. |
