The title of Sword Saint in Japan is an extremely revered one.
It represents the strongest swordsman of an era in Japan, and is conferred by the Prime Minister and the Emperor together, bestowing the title of Sword Saint.
It is said to symbolize formidable strength, universally acknowledged as the strongest.
As a family that has once produced a Sword Saint, the Sword Saint Family naturally possesses a powerful foundation in swordsmanship. Whether it be their bloodline or family heritage, they are beyond compare with other martial arts families.
Although the Four Great Sword Saint Families often experience periods of decline, their deep-rooted heritage remains. Every few generations, they invariably produce a prodigy of extraordinary talent.
Thus, the Four Great Sword Saint Families have always stood firm in the Japanese martial arts community without faltering.
