There are three swords housed at Nunoichi Shrine. One is this short sword that has the name Nobunaga engraved on it. It is 47.8 cm long, 2.8 cm wide, and has a 0.6 cm curve. In the late 15th century, the sword maker Nobunaga, who lived in Nonoichi, is thought to have made it. Nobunaga was the son of the sword maker Yasunobu, who moved from what is now Niigata Prefecture to Nonoichi.
