Generally, the blade and the sword mounting of Japanese swords are displayed separately in museums, and this tendency is remarkable in Japan. For example, the Nagoya Japanese Sword Museum "Nagoya Touken World", one of Japan's largest sword museums, posts separate videos of the blade and the sword mounting on its official website and YouTube.<ref>[https://www.touken-world.jp/en/video/ Touken World  YouTube videos about Japanese swords]</ref><ref>[https://www.touken-world.jp/en/video-koshirae/ Touken World  YouTube videos on koshirae (sword mountings)]</ref>
